So today I had to go for a 3 hr test sinces yesterday my number was 141 and they wanted me to be under 135. Anyone that can shed some light on this would be wonderful.

t contain anything)..Blood work when you go in, take the drink, blood work again and drink again and blood work again. It is no fun but hang in there and positive vibes sent your way!

When I get my blood drawn I never look, I just look up or the other direction. It helps alot to do that because when I got my blood drawn for the glucose test I didn't even feel it, the needle was so thin.

I'm 21 weeks pregnant. Had some blood work done today for the first time. Had 7 samples drawn and fainted on the last one for a couple seconds. Is that normal, has that ever happened to any of you guys?

Hello moms do all pregnant women do a glucose test.

re a healthy weight. It is called the one hour glucose tolerance test because your blood is drawn one hour after drinking the glucose drink. If you fail and have to do the three hour the draw your blood first, make you drink the drink, and then draw blood at specific time intervals throughout the next three hours. The purpose of the test is to see how your body responds to and processes a large amount of glucose.

If she is doing the 3 hour test she can't eat until after

I am 23 wks preggers and last week I saw my consultant, who has said in mid sept I have to have a glucose test. I have low blood pressure all the way through pregnancy, high BMI because I am overweight and the consultant put me on clexane injections daily. Can anyone tell me why I have to have this glucose test and what it's for please? I have had a poor diet because of bad sickness. I was losing weight up to 3-4 months preggers and I still have sickness now just not as bad.

I have my test next week. Passed with my first test with my first pregnancy so hoping it's the same this time, it's been 9 years tho so my fingers are crossed. Hope everything turns out fine for you!

Its a blood test that they do to check to see if you have gestational diabetes. Everyone has to take it. They give you a sugary drink and you have to drink it within 5 minutes, then after an hour they draw your blood. The drink can make you sick though, it made me very sick!

So I'm going to be having my glucose test soon and I was just wondering what exactly happens at that appointment

/ my sil said they made her do the 3 hour test the first time.

) I have been ordered to take a first trimester blood glucose test to check for diabetes early. I cannot tell you how awful it is to be here, empty stomach fasting, and have to drink that syrupy stuff when I'm still in the throws of 1st trimester nausea. Trying not to throw up. But already dizzy. If you did a 1st trimester blood glucose screening, how did yours go?

I'm 24 weeks pregnant, and I'm conserned because my doctor has done any blood work yet, should I say something to him?and when when should blood work be done?

I took the first test and failed yesterday I had to do the 3 hour test I had to fast but the lab tech told me after I got there I was allowed to drink water once they took the first vial of blood

You will be fine I had the orange. It tastes like an orange soda at first and then u start to feel nauseas. It tastes like sugary **** at the end but you have to force it down otherwise they won't do the test. The blood test wasn't that bad. And I'm normally a huge baby & faint when getting blood drawn. Haha. Anyways I went out to eat right after!!!!! I was so hungry.

Hello ladies have any of ya skip or went to do the glucose test at 25 weeks I hate it I don't want to do it

During this second test, called the 100-gram oral glucose tolerance test, your blood glucose level will be tested four times during a three-hour period after drinking the cola-like drink. If two out of the four blood tests are abnormal, you are considered to have gestational diabetes.

What is this glucose test I keep hearing about? I'm 25wk and I've not done it.

I feel stupid that I have heard, read, known nothing about a glucose test? When do you get it? What happens? What do bad results mean?

Yupp, I just had mine done, yesterday

And also said Ill have the glucose test my next apt. What would they have taken one more vial of blood for?
