For anyone who has an upcoming glucose test, I just want to calm your nerves. I was so anxious because I read a lot of horror stories, but I just did it this morning and it was totally fine and easy. The drink is a very small amount, doesn’t come close to filling a glass. It doesn’t taste bad at all. The wait is annoying, but I never felt sick or anything.

I truly believe it’s different for everyone as well as every pregnancy.
I didn’t mind the drink with my first pregnancy. But with this pregnancy it made me gag and made me feel super sickly. Headache, stomach ache, shaky feeling. I literally never want to be pregnant again after this experience with the glucose test 😭😅

oh no I’m so sorry! Okay so maybe I just got lucky then.

definitely luck 😂 I didn’t think the drink was bad with my first pregnancy with my little boy at all. But something about these girls makes me super sensitive to sweets.

Well, I’m having a boy so maybe that’s why haha

It’s different for everyone I have low blood sugar since my pregnancy and when I did my glucose it taste and felt like I was drinking Gatorade I ask the nurse for another bottle 😂😂😂she said get out😭😂in a nice way tho

😂😂

The drink it is gross, I don’t think it’s horrendous though. I know it makes me gag when I have to drink the glucose but in the end it’s not like I drank a whole bin of it lol

I had to do a 3 hour test today, and it’s 100 grams of glucose and that drink was gross. The regular 50g for the 1 hour was fine. But both give me headaches

totally agree! I’m doing the 3 hour test today and the 100 g drink is nasty it’s so much thicker. It’s making me feel gross but the 1 hour test drink wasn’t that bad

I’ve done the test 6 times 2 of which were warm the rest were cold. I just chug it in under 30 seconds I don’t even know if it touches my taste buds 💀😂(I always pick orange)
