GTT

The test is fine you just drink a sugary drink and wait around and they take your bloods twice..once before and once after…it’s nothing scary!! You got this!

I had an early one at about 10 weeks. Its like an extra sugary capri sun. Quite nice tbh. 😂 Just beware of the emotional rollercoaster. At first I was like im good (because I was starving and had something in me), then the sugar high and then the sugar crash along with the shakes and headache. I took cereal bars (left them in my car to not be tempted during) and inhaled them like I've never eaten before. Not to put you off or anything. Just my experience and I have to do it again at the beginning of Dec.

I had mine yesterday, it was fine. The drink wasn't the nicest taste for me but other people haven't minded the taste. I managed to drink it fine though.
I didn't have any response to it like mentioned above about a sugar high or crash. I suppose it is different for everyone and it might have been her first trimester hunger on top of the test.
I would agree to have a snack in the car (/on you) just incase you need it

Take a snack with you that you can eat immediately after the 2nd blood draw. I was so light headed by that point, I felt awful! Such a sugar crash (BTW that meant I didnt have GD as I was told i'd actually produced too much insulin 😂)

I was so stressed before mine (had mine really late at 35 weeks due to baby's belly measuring big) but honestly it was fine! The biggest struggle for me was not being able to eat breakfast as I'm ravenous in the morning 😅 The drink itself was fine and I was happy that the nurse let me leave the waiting room so I could go sit outside and get fresh air, obviously just don't walk loads. I felt a little lightheaded for the first hour and was then back to normal. Definitely pack a snack to have straight after the second blood draw! I treated myself to some lunch from Costa afterwards 😅 Didn't have GD.
