Glucose Test

I had mine on Friday… I threw up the drink an hour in so we had to terminate. I also felt so faint.Now they wanna book me again 🙄

Yessssssss tomorrow at 930, I'm such a sicky person normally and threw up everyday multiple times for the first 4.5 months. Dreading it and also dreading not being able to have my midnight ice lolly snack 🤣

@Kirsty I’m still throwing up at 27 weeks and had mine last week but kept it in and was fine as soon as I ate after. So there’s hope!!

I had mine Wednesday gone. Tbh, it was alright. Wasn't as bad as I had heard. The glucose drink tasted like sweet summer fruits squash 😆.

I’ve got mine next Monday not to sure how feel about not eaten after so many hours either

Tbh I lowkey enjoyed the sugar drink 😅 think I’ve been to the states a few too many times. Especially after not having sugary drinks for months now

The drink is relatively nice just not having to down it in 5 minutes, that’s what made me feel sick. If i had time to drink it slowly i wouldn’t have been nauseous…. But i managed 🙈

Does everyone have this? I got a letter in the post to book it in but not had one and I'm 27 weeks xx

I had it last time x

@Nadia Sorry to hear that, fingers crossed for a better outcome.. Maybe ask if they offer alternative testing methods.

@Kirsty Good luck for tomorrow, i’m going to bed the minute fasting starts cos if I get hungry I will become a gremlin 😅 @Alex Glad it went well for you, the thought of chugging drinks is gag worthy for me. I hate the thought of being put on a clock to finish something 🙃

@Sarah I agree, telling the hungriest women around who are growing life to stop eating for what feels like forever is insane

Yes, I'm having mine tomorrow at 9am, trying to stay up and eat as late as possible tonight (my cut off is 1130) as I'm normally sick of I don't eat within half hour of getting up or wake up with an empty stomach 😣 I'm dreading the bloods, they struggle to get blood from me at the best of times, let alone twice in 2 hours! Last time it took them 8 attempts at the end of the day when I'd drunk almost 3L of water 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hopefully all goes well for you all tomorrow and good luck not looking to Monday knowing waiting and around at that x

@Jamie I’m not sure about everyone, there are certain reasons people MUST do it but maybe speak to your midwife before responding to the letter. Did you test positive last time?

I did it twice in my last pregnancy and personally enjoyed the drink 😂

@Katie Omg I am the exact same with the bloods, I need litres of blood to get anything and I’m a difficult stick so its hard to find a vein 🥲 My cut off is 8:30pm so im currently fed and furious 😭🤣

@Lor Praying I do too, i’m not averse to sugar so fingers crossed 🤞🏾

Oh no 😩 They can find a vein easy on me, the vein just likes to collapse the second the needle goes in 🫣 It's horrible either way, hoping it's okay for us all tomorrow 🤞🏻 Oh wow, 830 is a really early cut off!! I'd get some more food in you before your cut off hits! I've been snacking most of the day 😅

I’ve had it a couple of times and I’ve quite enjoyed it tbh 🤣

I have mine tomo! I’ll be 28 weeks. I didn’t think the drink was that bad last time- like a flat lucozade. It’s hard to down it though so early in the morning!

I had it last week, I did throw up between hour 1 and 2 of bloods, but thankfully they allowed me to call it a pass

@Aswiny what flavour did you have last time or do they not do flavours anymore?

I had mine on Tuesday. The fasting was the hardest part! Bring snacks for after, and something to entertain yourself. The drink was okay, just the texture is a bit off-putting as it's quite thick.

Orange last time (in 2022)! Not sure what I’ll get tomo!

I had mine 14th feb Went in at 9.15 got my first blood draw then was given the drink. The drink was orange flavoured, it itself was absolutely fine but back in the waiting room started to get sweaty, uncomfortable sticky feeling. After the second blood draw I was so uncomfortable and just wanted to go home. Kept going to the loo thinking I was going to be sick . Managed to get my 3rd blood draw , was given some toast after . Felt a bit better and went to mc Donald’s after which was a complete mistake. Came home and vomited everywhere. Felt sick and tired for the entire day after was horrible. But on the plus side I didn’t have GD so was worth it😂😂🤷‍♀️

I have mine tomorrow! The not being allowed to eat and the drink is making me super nervous. If I don’t have breakfast I’m sick and I also can’t have too much sugar so I dunno how it’s going to go 😂

literally fine, i had mine a couple days ago. The drink is just a slightly thicker sugary water hint of orange. didn’t make me gag or heave. had a drink of normal water afterwards. set of bloods drawn before and after. sir and wait 2 hours as ur not allowed to walk around and that’s it. honetsly no biggie ❤️❤️ hope it goes well

@Sinéad Omg what a bloody rollercoaster, sorry to hear you had such a bad time. Glad to hear it was all worth it in the end. I will stick to bland snacks and possibly my favourite fruits afterwards. I think it sucks to be left without a comfortable space to relax

@Aswiny mine was orange in 2020 and raspberry when I went a few weeks ago wasn't expecting it 😅

The drink was good tbh. I had the orange flavour. I was made to think it was horrible.

I had it and it was like a gross gel consistency at the top on the drink and then it just tasted like flat Fanta, honestly it wasn’t bad at all, didn’t feel sick, although I was absolutely starving about 30 mins before and it made me super grumpy lolll. I bought a book w me to pass the time, came back all clear for me! Definitely bring some entertainment to forget that ur hungry
