When to expect glucose test?

stacey86 · September 2010

When can I expect to have a glucose tolerance test? Does every women need one? I was planning on talking to my doctor about this at my appointment in the morning but thought I would get a little input from you ladies

I had my 20 week appt today and he told me I would have the glucose test at my 24 week appt. He sent me home with my glucose drink today.

They generally do it around 24 weeks, but I'll be getting mine done next week at 23 weeks. Sometimes, they do it earlier if a woman had GD in another pregnancy or if they find sugar in her urine during other tests. I'm not sure if states require it, but I think many OB's do because of liability.

I was told I'll be having mine at my 19 week appt. Sounds early though, maybe they messed it up? Hmm.

26-27w for me

(actually I had the 1 hour at 6w - failed. and the 3 hour at 7w - passed)

Wow so early for you girls. I get mine done at 28 weeks and have every pregnancy. They give me the drink there. Send me to the waiting room with my birthplan to fill out and then call me back in an hour to get my blood drawn.

Around 26-27 weeks for my doc. I had GD last time and had a 1 hr at 7 weeks, then doing a 3 hr a few weeks from now!

At my 23 week appointment I got the lab orders for the one hour test and soem other tests. They asked that I completed the testing by my 28 week appt. I went yesterday at 25 weeks, I just got the call, I passed- so relieved. But I am anemic so I have to add an iron supplements.

I had one done @15weeks, and yesterday(29 weeks) b/c of my family history w/diabetes!

Mr office gave me the lab order and glucola drink at 25 weeks, and I had the test done at 26w5d.

wow i had mine very early, i was only 11 weeks, it is maybe because i have a family history of diabetes and i have a new OB. they let me drink water with white powder mixed and it tasted sweet! They let me wait for an hour and got my blood.
