Hey! 26 weeks pregnant with my first baby, just had my gestational diabetes test, did anyone else feel so deflated afterwards? I was with my midwife at 9am and only just got home any advice on how to perk myself back up?:(

I felt jittery, sleepy and sick. I ate soup and it helped as not loads of sugar and carbs. Also had a lie down as the crash wasn't pleasant. After food and an hours rest I felt fine

Hey, I had mine this morning and managed to throw up all the drink about 30 mins after having it 🤦♀️ feeling rough as now but I think a bit of food and a nap will work wonders. Try to rest and not put any pressure on yourself. 😊

I felt like this after it's actually common to feel deflated afterwards, eating a small meal may help but having a nap if your able to as it will definitely help x

It's the sugar crash... I was fine after a nap :)

I had mine this morning too and feel exactly the same xx

I plan to go back to work after mines, I work in a hospital is this going to be possible? 👀🤣 x

@claire I would suggest you have the day off as having a GTT can make you have hot flushes, make you feel sick, dizzy and make you feel extremely lethargic these are side effects of having GTT but you never know how your going to feel until you have the GTT x

you better find a place to nap at the hospital then!! 😂

Thanks luckily my work are great so if all goes to pot and I’m feeling crap going home and just resting won’t be too much of a problem 🙂 x

think I’ll just take the rest of the day off 🤣 sounds like I’ll probably be no use to them at work anyway x

I've got mine next week and was advised to book the day off work as will feel groggy and a little deflated. Hope you're ok x

I had mine today and I went back to work in the afternoon and felt absolutely fine.
