I wasn't allowed to eat for mine. Some drs make you fast... Some don't.   It was hard but it's just something you have to get through for baby.  I failed my 1 hour test but passed my 3 hour one.  It's not as bad as people make it out to be

My midwife told me I could eat proteins but nothing with sugar. I snacked on sunflower seeds before my appointment. Check with your doc. I had morning sickness through most of my pregnancy and needed to keep food in my stomach to keep from being sick.

I felt sooo sick after drinking the drink. It was horrible..  As for the the blood I just don't look while they do it & it doesn't bother me.
