Midwife making me do the glucose test at 20 weeks 🙄

Olive 🦋 • Wife, writer, stay at home mommy to Luna Violet and Kodiak Sage 🌑🐻

Sooo apparently since I'm still nauseous they are wanting to do a glucose test. Let me be straight here. I told them I was only nauseous when I ate spicy food or greasy food (which was an issue for a while before I was pregnant, it's just heightened now)

And last pregnancy I was sick until 18 weeks. They never made me do the test twice there (I passed anyways)

I'm just upset because I went here for a more natural experience. Not to be forced to drink that terrible (and terrible for you) drink.

Idk. I'm upset. So after not eating for the certain hours, i then have to get blood drawn (which makes me dizzy) and theeen I have to wait until after to take my thyroid meds which I have to wait ANOTHER HOUR!!! to eat after 🙄 I'm just mad.

Also, please do not bash me saying "it's for the well being of your baby". Yup. Noted. Got it. But I feel that it is completely unnecessary.
