Fainted at glucose test

This is my third pregnancy and this has never happened before but right before the nurse was about to draw my blood after waiting an hour after the drink, I felt my vision going black, I couldn’t hear anything, nausea, and sweating.. I fainted while sitting. I told her what was happening while it was all starting and she let me put my feet up and my head back.

They gave me cold towels on my face and neck, crackers, and juice while laying down after I told them to just try to take the blood while I lay down so I don’t have to do it again (they took from my wrist area)

I didn’t fast as new policy is that it’s not needed before the drink. Fasting (no food or water) is required after you take the drink.. which is about an hour.

This was for a one hour glucose test. For my other two pregnancies I passed those. Just waiting on results for this one now.

My husband had to come pick me up. Just a few tips- bring a good protein snack and some water for after the test, stay seated while waiting for blood test and a little after too, and if you can bring someone with you to drive.

Update: I passed the test.
