Gestational diabetes test

I'm still waiting for my results. I had it done yesterday and I'm nervous lol. But I noticed when I did the glucose drink that I didn't feel like I was on a sugar high or bouncing off the walls. How did the drink make you feel and did you pass or fail?

Prolapse during late pregnancy

Currently 37+4 with my first baby, and a couple of weeks ago spotted a bulging in the opening of my vagina, so went to triage and was told somewhat flippantly that I have a cervical prolapse.
