Glucose Test...Udate


Ok, so it's not Sunkist Orange soda exactly, but I really don't mind drinking the stuff for the 1-hour gestational glucose tolerance test. However, I didn't want or expect to have to repeat it in the 3-HOUR version! Hoping and praying I pass it this time!!!

After my 15 hour stretch of no food or drink, I can truly say that Gatorade & Wendy's never tasted SO GOOD! Then when I got home from doing my blood work, Andy presented me with a box of Dunkin' Donuts! YUM!

I had to do the 3 hour test with Taylor...thank goodness it came out okay. I really watched what I ate those couple of days before the test though! Hope this test goes well for you!

I have always been worried that I would have to do the 3 hr test. Thank the Lord I didn't. I can't stand that drink. Ugh! But this time they gave it to me at the appt before and I was able to refrigerate it and drink it before going in. It was much better cold and over lots of ice. Plus I didn't have to sit in the waiting room for an hour. I was miserable and light headed though, which my dr said was a good sign (and indeed it did come back negative).

When will you know if you passed the 3 hr one?

Yep...I had to do that too, but it wasn't too bad. My levels came back fine, but I was still treated like I had gestational diabetes. lol! Never did figure that out. Was everything okay with your numbers? I know you are ready for this to be over with. Believe me...even though it feels like it isn't going to end...it will!!! And it is so much fun afterwards. I am loving having a baby girl. So different than a boy! Brax and Cade are loving having a baby sister too. I hope you aren't too miserable! How is your swelling? Okay...I guess I should have just sent you an email. lol! Lv...
