Glucose tolerance test

So I have my glucose test today but I also have emetophobia [fear of vomit and throwing up] so I’m wondering if there is any ways to reduce that nausea so I don’t traumatise myself

Have you had one before?
I didn’t feel nauseous when I had mine.. I felt perfectly fine ☺️

Don’t believe them. It’s the same consistency and taste of an orange lucozade just not fizzy. I thought the drink was nice 😅

I have my 2nd one today, had to have one 9 weeks because mum and Gdad are diabetic and one today.

Honestly they are absolutely fine, noting to worry about. Just remember to take something to keep you occupied for a few hours and food did afterwards. Xx

Mine was thick but tasty. You have five minutes to drink it so if you need to take little break then do so. Just make sure that you bring something with you to make time go by faster. I took a book as I know the Internet doesn't work in my hospital

Had no nausea and it tasted like capri sun, felt no different x

Tasted like a capri sun, was absolutely fine xx

I didn’t have nausea - it’s very sweet but not horrendous. Mine came out of the fridge - if they give you one at room temp maybe ask if any in fridge?

HELP!

i’m currently 37 weeks pregnant! i was meant to have a scan on Tuesday as i have high blood pressure meaning i have a scheduled c section booked in for 39+3 (27th of April) however i arrived at my appointment 10 mins late as there was really bad traffic (and i live an hour away as it from the hospital) so we had to reschedule. they called me today and said they have rescheduled it for the 20th of April at 8am. only issue is this is only 1 week exactly before my planned c section. and this scan was to see if we needed to move the date forward due to my blood pressure continuing to increase so having a scan at 38+3 just seems a bit pointless. also if my blood pressure is high it means there could be more complications in my C section such as higher chance of bleeding out so i’d need to take blood pressure tablets but im worried a week isn’t enough time to sort my blood pressure out and i don’t know what to do.

Line eyes??

I keep looking at the test and I’m convinced there is a line?

High pain threshold...

Please give me some comfort im so nervous.
Ive just got out of 4 day stint in hospital after have a very intense bloody show at 35 + 3. Im talking blood down my legs kind of intense...
Anyway, im high risk. I have gestational diabetes, cholestasis and pre eclampsia, and have a section booked in 2 weeks time at 38 weeks. Before I was released from hospital I had a cervical check and I was 3cm, but they said all my levels were okay so go home and come straight back at the first sign of either waters breaking, more blood outside of mucus, or contractions. My problem is - im so worried that im not even going to realise something is a contraction snd miss it and then not even make it to the hospital for my section before im too dialated. I had no idea i was 3cm, ive had some slight cramps today but nothing thats concerned me??

My April baby turned into a March baby 🥰🩷

Anyone else?

Due 7th April, but the little lady had different plans and arrived 31st March via emergency c.

How is everyone doing?

Nausea FTM

Hi, I’m only 5-6 weeks pregnant and I’m suffering from the worst nausea imaginable, I have anti sickness medication prescribed but nothing seems to be helping. I’m struggling to eat drink and get out of bed is this normal so early on ?
I’m beginning to get concerned that this could be hyperemesis but would this show so early on ? I don’t understand when this will pass, how I’m going to work in this state I’m worried for myself and the fact I’m under 12 weeks really scares me that I’m already being effected so bad.
