Just hope they don't do the 3 hour one, my doctor made me do the 3 hour one even after I passed the one hour one just to be safe, and I only have one good vein so they had to do all 4 blood draws required for the 3 hour test out of the same vein. I'm still bruised a week later.

You do it between 24-28 weeks. I did mine today st 26 weeks. And the drink isn't that bad, just taste like a flat orange soda. Then you sit and wait for an hour. Then they draw your blood.
