Glucose Test

Are you nervous for the test or the result?

I’ve got mine this morning too. People make out it’s awful but it is a blood test and a drink. It was like flat lucozade in my last pregnancy. It wasn’t bad x

Had mine yesterday, the drink is fine like an off brand carpri sun. It did make me feel mildly sick but that could be the not eating.

As far as I'm aware if it does come back positive then your right it's self testing, diet change and more regular checks from the midwife team. It's not ideal but not long for us to go!

Yeah I agree people make it out to be horrible. Honestly the worst bit is waiting two hours but bring headphones and download a film and it'll fly by

I don’t know why people make out it’s bad, the drink is literally orange juice and then a 2 hour wait (bring book or headphones etc!) i cannot wait for mine as its 2 house peace away from work/toddler mum life😂

I had mine last Friday, and was equally as anxious. I didn’t have to have one for my first, so this was totally new to me.

Honestly nothing to stress about, the drink itself is orange flavoured and like a capri sun. Didn’t feel ill or anything once I’d taken it. The worst part was waiting for 2 hours in the hospital. I took a book.

I’m still waiting on my results which is the nerve wracking part! Just want to know. 🙈

Its not bad the test at all, however after i felt so shaky, sick, tired and warm as she had advised you would take a dip. I slept once i got home for 4 hours. I personally wouldnt take the test again for my 2nd x

I have mine next week. Im more nervous about the result than anything else, purely because I love my food and im rubbish at monitoring everything single thing I eat 😂

It honestly isn't too bad x you have a fasting bloods taken, then you have your drink ( very sweet but manageable- I'm not a fan of overly sweet things so made me feel a little sick for few min) then after 2 hours you have another blood test x they do ask not to move around too much so it doesn't mess with the result x I did have a bad headache after but went away once I had a proper meal! Xx honestly wasn't as bad as I thought and I was super worried as well x just make sure you have stuff with you to keep you occupied for the 2 hours x thankfully my results were all normal :)
