Where i live they give you a bottle of solution which is basically sugar water then you have to wait for and hour then have blood drawn and that is a fasting test.... If you dont pass that one they have you come back drink.same solution and wait 3 hours and draw blood... Ive never heard of a 2 1/2 hour test... And if your midwife doesnt take the time to answer your questiond i would choose another midwife because that is her job to take care.of you and take care of any concerns you have
I only did the 1 hr but i was there for 2 hrs. It took her 30 min to see me and than like 10 to get my drink n for me to drink it. Than u wait exactly an hr for the blood draw and i checked back n w my midwife and left. Maybe shes just preparing u. I have heard of the 2hr glucose also
Hey if your not sure why she doing that you should give your dr a call
If he/she refuses
It time to change your dr.
