THE GLUCOSE TEST!

I don't do well with drinking things in the first place, and I KNOW I'll probably end up getting sick. But is it really that bad? And how much do I have to drink? I'm dreading this test. I can either do it tomorrow or the next day.

It's not bad at all. I have to do it next week, but with my first it was fine. The drink I had didn't taste bad at all.

I didn't think it was bad at all. The drink that I had tasted like the orange hi c from mcdonalds with added sugar. The only thing that bugged me was that it kinda burned my throat because of the sweetness

Its not that bad only if u make it bad. U drink a cup or lil bottle of liquid that taste like a weird juice.

I had the Orange one, taste like flat Orange Crush... It was like the small water bottles, so its not that much... I just downed it and waited so I could go eat, my boy was hungry!!!
You should be fine... Not that bad, really...

SheilaMae804

I'm in the UK and had mine yesterday. I had to fast from 10pm, only allowed water to drink. First bloodtest at 8am, followed by a can and a cup of lucozade (better than the horrible sugary, syrupy drink I had to drink last time) then 2 hours sitting and waiting followed by another bloodtest. Hope yours goes ok!

I didn't have to fast

preggointx

My was good I had the orange it was cold and I had to fast so I was thirsty

I didn't have to fast, but I did because everything in my house was sugary, lol. I got the orange drink and its a container about the size of a school milk carton. I am not an orange soda fan, but it wasn't bad.

I was dreading mine but it was fine, was a 500ml bottle and i think u had to drink it in like 5 or ten mins. I fasted for twelve hours too but apt was at 9am so felt fine. Good luck!

My advice would be to drink it in one big gulp!! Just chug it. Down! When I did my 2 hour test me and I girl got there at the same time, she was taking small drinks and it took her 20 min to drink it, when it took me less the a minute! Why suffer for so long when you can just do it in one big drink! And from my first pregnancy there was a girl that tried to do her glucose test and half way thru her drink threw up, so she had to come back another day. It's not worth it! Try and not think about it too much! You can do it

Mine wasn't bad. I was at risk for GD so I had to do 3 of them. I chose the Orange drink every time, and it wasn't that bad at all. Just tasted like sugary orange soda to me. Hope yours goes well!

NewMomInSept

I got the lemon lime flavor, tasted pretty much like sprite just slightly off. Make sure its COLD though. I heard its nasty warm. And like @mommy_YAYA said, one big gulp. Chug it!

serenitysmommy

I think I was thristy because I got the orange flavored 1 and drank it in less than a min. Lol its really no that bad

CaptainMorgaine

It made me really sick, but I dont know why. It didnt taste horrible, and I passed the test. I started not feeling good about 15 mins after I drank it, but I was sure not to throw up until after they did the test. Then I kept throwing up at home, so I ended up taking one of those nausea pills that knocks you out, and pretty much slept for the rest of that day and the next one.
