Hey lovely people,
I’m looking for people who have had the gestational diabetes test done and ended up having to do a second test due to being sick in the first one 😅🤦🏼♀️ I had the test yesterday and safe to say my confidence going in was very quickly humbled and an hour in was sick… I know this does happen I’m just worried as this is my first time being sick the entire pregnancy and wondering if it’s a sign I may have either got gd or my body really didn’t agree with the heat and glucose increase… awaiting my next appointment wish me luck 😭

I wasnt.actually sick but it was hit and miss for a while 🤢 definitely made me feel ill and my results were normal.xx

I was sick an hour after the test but it was blood pressure for me, I managed somehow to not have to repeat the test. I had the same issue later on when having a sweet breakfast for some reason. Good luck for the next one!

Does absolutely everyone have this test? Because I didn’t and I wonder if I was supposed to

I vomited on the first test too, rescheduled for the following week and was ok. Main things I changed was asking to go outside then I walked around the local park and sat outside for a while.
I found being inside especially with the heat made me feel nauseous so the fresh air definitely helped keep it down. When I felt like vomiting I’d stop talking and take deep breaths. However I did vomit when I got home but at least the test was done. Best of luck with your next one!

I had mine this week and the only thing that saved me from the nausea was sipping ice cold water. If you have a Stanley bottle or similar then definitely worth bringing for support. I did also have a bowl of bran flakes right before the 10pm food curfew and think this probably helped me not be too hungry in the morning during the test
