Glucose Test
Hi January moms!
Just a quick note: I was majorly flipped out about my glucose test. I'd read horror stories about how awful the drink was, how sick it made everyone, how fasting (or NOT fasting!) gave them a false positive, etc.
Well I just worked myself into a lather for no good reason.
Had my glucose test today and I PASSED, woo hoo! I have PCOS, and a former OB basically told me that I was all but certain to get GD. So hooray for a normal test.
Anyway, for those of you who haven't had your one- hour screening yet, don't fret. It's fine. Yes, the drink is not something I'd choose, but it's fine. No worse than orange drink or one of those Huggies drinks. Remember those? Yeesh.
Anyway, just down the drink. It's fine. You'll get jittery from the sugar. You'll feel gross and maybe nauseated. Drink a sip of water, go for a walk around the block (if permitted -different labs have different rules). At the end of the hour you'll have your blood drawn and that's the worst of it (well, it was for me).
GOOD LUCK to those who still need to take the test. Don't fret. You'll be fine.
Sending hugs!
