Following as I have this at the same place on 19th x I do think it’s what you said though test drink wait test x

I had it two weeks ago and it was the blood test, wait then blood test again, chairs are super uncomfy and was sat in a corridor :( I just watched Netflix for a while xxx

@Emily what was the drink like? I had it twice in my last pregnancy but i was under a different hospital! I passed out on the first one and threw up on the 2nd so I'm abit nervous lol xxx

Really nice, it was raspberry flavour, very sweet! But tasted nice

Yes, blood test, drink, 2 hr wait, blood test. Although, in hindsight, I wish I’d have just asked for a finger prick testing kit earlier rather than subjecting my baby to a massive dose of sugar unnecessarily.

@Liz thank you. I have a midwife appointment this afternoon so I'm gonna ask for the finger prick! I had it twice with my last pregnancy and it was awful!
