I get my test next week. I'll be 25 weeks. Its usually between 25-28 weeks. Usually. Most places will so it between those weeks. Some do it later. But take something to eat with you. For after the test. My first time i took peauutbutter and banana sandwiches with me and thy helped so much after the test. I felt super sick during the test it was ridiculous!!  Good luck!

I think u take the test between 27 wks and 32wks. Some ppl are advise to take the test if they are over weight. I have mine in a couple of wks cause my granda has diabetes. No food or drink from 10pm the following night.

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!
