That's what it is :) I had to go to the 3 hr one and its pretty much the same thing but they give a more sugary drink than the 1 hr one and draw blood every hr. It ***** a lot more than the 1 hr one. It was way to much sugar for me...

Its to see if u have gestational diabetes. You drinkna sugary drink and sit for an hour and then they draw blood and see how your body took to the sugar. You have to be within a certain level to pass and if u arent then u go back for a 3 hour one. I passed the first one so not really quite sure how the 3 hour one works :)
