So this is my first pregnancy. I'm going on 29 weeks Saturday. Tomorrow I have my glucose test. What goes on? What can I expect?

It doesn't taste that bad I've had all 3 flavors its just very thick and sweet. If you're doing the 1 hr right away in the morning don't eat until you're done or you may fail. Just drink some water do the test then eat after the hour. It's not that bad I've failed it once had to do the 3 hr passed that no problem.

It doesn't smell bad it's just so sweet like nasty. Some girl that was waiting to se the dr said she threw up and had to do it again. So try not to

I had mine a while back and honestly the only thing that killed me was the not eating part lol the drink itself was actually quiet tasty (I know weird) but my doc had given to me to take home prior to appt so it had time to chill in the fridge for a month so it was colder

I had mine like 2 weeks ago at 28 weeks and it made me sick and I really felt like throwing up but I was scared they'd make me start over so I didn't :P
But the hour actually went by pretty quickly and I passed. It's annoying but best to just get it out of the way, good luck!

It's not horrible but its not fun either. At least you will only have to do it once most likely :)

I have to take another one the next time I go in, I got one at 10 weeks because diabetes is heavy in my family and apparently they have to test again around 28 weeks. But what happens is you have to drink 8 oz of really gross sugary drink within 5 minutes I believe. It tastes like thick flat soda. Honestly it gave me a tummy ache. After an hour they draw blood and that's the test.
