And plus can anyone give me more info on why its done and what for please!! Im a ftm and its all new to me :)

Fast means not to eat...call your dr and ask for directions.  I think it is required in US for all preg woman to take this test...I took it with my first child

I have my test Monday. I didn't know I was supposed to fast.  What do you mean by fast? What do I have to do to prepare??  Sorry for all the questions.

Its done to see if you've developed gestational diabetes. I Dont know where you are but here in England it is only done if your at a higher risk of developing it.

I had to take this test but my fast was only 12 hours which I started three hours before goin to ma bed and my test was early tht morning so it worked out okay for me and I turned out fine
