Does every pregnant woman HAVE TO take the glucose test mandatory??

I took mine yesterday and didn't know I had to take it til I went to my appt...I failed so I now have to take the 3 hour

its not bad, they take blood you drink some orange kinda of drink (tastes like orange pop) then take more blood... its better to find out

It's really not that bad, and it's best to know if you have it. A doctor can't make you take a test, but they can refuse to see you further as it's a liability on them.

My doctor hasn't said anything either so I was hoping I didn't, but at my 27 week appointment she told me I need to go get it done :/

I really couldnt stand having to drink that stuff, let alone waiting a hour to have my blood taken. But ill do anything I can to make sure my little boy comes out healthy as can be! I just went and took mine last week and have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow to discuss the results! Hoping for good news! Oh and ill be 28 weeks Saturday, so they usually ask for it to be done sometime in your 7th month!

Most of the time they do it between 26& 28 weeks i believe

The best thing to do is take it

[mrsnelson2010]

No. U can refuse it...u can refuse any test during pregnancy. HOWEVER, gestational diabetes could be dangerous for you and baby if left untreated and undiagnosed.
