Having my glucose test today
Taking my blood was so so difficult , i was pricked like 5 times and i was almost told to come back before one tiny veins finally popped🥹. The glucose drink is not as bad as people say it it

I was exactly the same, it took 2 midwives multiple attempts to get any blood and eventually they had to use my hand instead of my arm. Luckily the results come back pretty quickly. Hope they are all clear!
I had mine yesterday the drink for me was disgusting đź«Ł and the 2 hour waiting i didn't like wasn't allowed to go for a walk but glad it's over now and she got me first time so was lucky as normal they have to get my hand
I did an at home one today. Just had to prick my finger, and the drink was worse than I remember in my last pregnancy.
Had mine today too! Usually everyone struggles to get blood but managed fine today. I also didn’t mind the drink!

For me the drink was awful and it made me sooo poorly but that’s because I am diabetic thankfully I didn’t have to have it with my 2nd and I’m not having it with my 3rd Ive been on insulin since I was 7 weeks and I’m now on insulin and metformin tablets x
