I have mine tomorrow too, I'm pretty sure my letter says 10 hours fasting only water allowed and non fluoride toothpaste
I didn’t eat after I finished dinner the night before, probs 7.30pm. I went to work but didn’t feel very well - headache and had to have a nap! And had to pull over on the drive in as I went all dizzy (long drive for me though).
I have mine next Friday at 8:30am and I have to fast from Thursday evening at 8:30pm x
I couldn’t eat 8 hours before and then had too wait two hours after I had the drink and my bloods done. In my opinion I wouldn’t go to work as it can make you feel really drowsy and sick. I fell asleep in the waiting room as I felt so ill xx
Thanks all! Spoke to work they're giving me the day off paid 😊
This is my second pregnancy & on both occasions had to fast from 10pm having to only take water. Appt at 9am the following morning. After grab something to eat and go on about my day as usual.
I have my GD test tomorrow at 08:00am and my letter has told me I need to fast from 9pm and can only have water x
Usually you get a letter that tells you as different trusts say different fasting times from what I've seen. I went to work after mine and was fine but depends how you feel afterwards. I was just really hungry!
