My doc told me I didn't have to fast. He said I can eat whatever I want. I do my test on Wednesday.

I went to the hospital the Nurse said u do know u have to take a drink stay for an hr then draw blood again. I was surprised i brought my boyfriends 3 yr old with me. I havent ate all night we went str8 after we woke up. I said hell no ill be back nxt weekend . My doctor nor his nurse informed me that i had to stay and at the same time the lady said i didnt have to fast but my doctors office said i needed to fast. What a joke ... But now i know no ned to fast and will get done once fit into my agenda

My doctor only limits carbs and sugary food after midnight. No other restrictions. (I could eat meat or cheese or dairy or veggies or something)

I only had to fast after i drank the drink for that 1 hr. So ya look into other places you can get it done and you may not have to fast. I didnt and mine came out fine.

I'm only 8 weeks. Is it normal for me to have a sweet taste in my mouth when I wake up? I haven't had anything sweet to eat.

My friend couldn't eat for 12 hours before the test, my midwives however let me eat up until an hour before mine and I could eat right after too. Good luck!

You should probably tough it out and get the test. Some places have slightly different rules (as evident by my post and the other poster's) so call them and ask for their instructions.
