Gestational diabetes test

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.

please tell me i’m not alone lol.

so i have posted a little about this before but im having my second c section on the 13th this one is planned as my first was an emergency and im absolutely terrified and im not sure why… just nothing will ease my mind this pregnancy has been much much harder then my first was in multiple different ways including health problems that are specifically pregnancy induced & i just feel really uneasy about it.😭😭
maybe because i have a toddler at home?? im not sure pls give me some reassurance.
as i fully trust in God and his plans .. my anxiety is starting to get the best of me .
TIA.🤍

BP

Would this be considered high? I’m 39 weeks pregnant & my blood pressure tends to creep towards the end and I’ve been induced both times for it. I wasn’t diagnosed with preeclampsia they were just being safe by inducing me.
I’m hoping for a home birth this time round so I don’t want them to have another reason to want to induce me but also I want to be safe for me and baby. Should I keep monitoring it or contact triage today?
Feeling disheartened ☹️☹️☹️

Preparing for baby

Hi all, I’m expecting my first child in October, so I am currently 13 weeks. When do people usually start buying things for their baby

Nervous 😥

I am over being pregnant, I am ready to have this baby, BUT the adjustment of having a toddler & newborn is making me so nervous like everything is going to change! I know not to change my toddler’s schedule & adjust baby to it, but it’s easier said than done. I think I’m more so worried about the naps…idk!!

Bloods

I had my bloods taken and haemoglobin was 107 and apparently they don’t treat until 105 😬😩

Random confession: The older I get, the more pregnancy gives me the ick

I used to think it was the most beautiful thing ever but now the thought alone exhausts me lol.
