My doctors office does it for everyone as well between 24 and 28 weeks.  I had the orange drink and it was not to bad at all. . Tasted like flat orange pop.

Most doctors routinely do it now although some still dont. My office does it for everyone between 24 and 28 weeks.

I recently had mine and it was a orange soda style one.  Not thick at all. Maybe different areas domit differently? Im waiting for my results.. hope I passed cuz i dont want to do the 3 hour one!

Also, i was advised the best thing to do after drinking the fluid, is to walk around. Hope all goes well for you & congratulations!

Yuk! That stuff is disgusting I hated having to drink that. The first time I had to drink it I cried, lbs! I didn't pass so I had to do it a second time, which was even worse because you have to drink more. I had gestational diabetes during my first pregnancy, but not the second. This is my 3rd pregnancy and I told my doctor I'm not excited about drinking that "deathly" sugar lol! So I was advised I could bring in a 16oz bottle of 100% real juice and if I could drink that in 5mins,that would suffice instead of drinking that sugar poison. Lol! Just glad they came up with a new method.
