For the First Time In My Pregnancy...
Posted: 06-02-06 08:16am

...I feel like i'm going to throw up. I did the glucose test yesterday, but it was a little high, so i'm doing the 3-hour test today. Yay. Anyway, I just had the first one done, and she gave me the glucose drink to drink, and that stuff is soooooooo nasty, as most of you know. I'm so disgusted, and I feel like sugar is solidifying in my stomach or something. It's just... Ugh.

I dont' know why I made this post. Maybe i'm just lonely; john had to go to work and couldn't stay for the appointments.

It's so funny, I keep hearing about how nasty the drink was but when I got it done all it tasted like was orange soda w/ the bubbles and all. My firends up here had the same one as me but then I have friends in the states who say it's nasty chalky shit. Maybe we have better stuff up here-lol

stay strong and it'll be over soon. Try not to barf cause they'll just make you drink more-lol

Lalee,

unfortunatly the 3 hour test's orange stuff is like three times thicker. I did pass that test though. It was horrid. The only thing was that the test was a fasting test and you couldnt' eat from 12 midnight thru the end of your test. Ack it was horrid.

I had to do an early glucose test at 9 weeks and after reading things on here I was dreading having to drink the drink. I got ready to guzzle it down and get it over with and it ended up tasting just like orange soda, bubbles and all! Maybe different places have different kinds. This wasn't thick or overly sweet or anything. Maybe a little sweeter than orange soda you'd get at the store but not bad at all.

Anyway, sorry you have to go for the 3 hour test. That doesn't sound fun at all. Hope everything comes out all right! How far along are you now?

I still have one more test to go, but I failed the first two, so it doesn't relly matter, as far as i'm concerned. I was 9 points over the first after-drink one and 5 points over this last one.

Iheart, i'm 27 weeks.

I have sprite at home that I drink sometimes because it doesn't have caffeine. I poured a glass last night and about halfway through it, when the ice had started to melt a little, I took a drink and suddenly tasted that nasty drink all over again. I poured the rest out.

The drink wasnt bad but I felt really sick after and almost passed out they said that was normal, the funny thing was I never did it with my daughter and if im pregnant again I refuse to drink it they can prick my finger and get a blood sugar reading thats my thought!
