Has anyone has their gestational diabetes test yet ? I have mine in a week and I’m scared bc I’ve heard nothing but stories about throwing up, the drink being nasty, having to repeat it etc.

I went on Friday! Got the lemon lime flavor and wasn’t bad at all, no problem chugging it, felt fine after, no headache or bellyache, and grabbed drive thru on the way home! I know everyone is different but mine was easy peasy. My first baby I got orange flavor and it wasn’t bad either. They just taste like juice to me! You got this!

I had mine last week it was pretty easy for me. They gave me an orange and I asked for a change and got a fruit punch with was pretty good. The wait was the "hardest part" I got my results and didnt have gestational diabetes. Dont worry to much about the test itself you got this!

I’ve done the lemon lime both times, just takes like flat sprite.

Not yet this time but when I took it with my first I got the red one and it really isn’t bad it’s like a extra syrupy cool aid tbh I did not have gestational diabetes but I did have a huge headache by the time I left my appointment and I was absolutely starving so I went and got KFC after my appointment and were perfectly fine.

Mine honestly wasn’t that bad it tastes like gatorade but sweeter, I did feel like I wanna throw up but I didn’t

I've done it 4 times. Twice in my first pregnancy, once postpartum, and an early test this time. Never had a particularly bad experience. Its not exactly fun, but especially the one hour is fine. It is very sweet if you don't do a lot of sugar, but its not that bad. The 3 hr is harder because you can't eat first.
