Why am I so nervous?

in September 2013 Moms

Ok, so in one hour and 10 minutes, I have my GD test.  I have not worried about it at all for the past two months I have known about it.  BUT, after getting on here yesterday and reading how everyone else felt after wards, I'm a nervous wreck!

I'm not worried about how this stuff is going to taste.  I have had a colonoscopy. If I can stomach that drink, this should be a breeze.  I'm not even worried about the outcome.  If I have diabetes, I know how to handle it.  My mother has been insulin dependent since I was 8 (I'm 30 now).  I have handled diabetes and I am prepared.  I am just SO worried about how I am going to feel afterwards.  I have my test then I HAVE to come back to work.

Was anyone esle this worried? How did you feel?

    It's just sugar, so nothing to be worried about. I have taken it 5 times throughout my pregnancies. Although I feel lethargic after taking in so much sugar, it's really not bad and I always go into work after. Just take some protein with you to eat afterwards to balance out all the sugar.

    Thanks ladies.  The orange drink wasn't bad.  Just kind of thick and very sweet.  I'm starving this morning from the fasting!

    Try not to worry too much!  I didn't feel that bad after it last time!  I just went and ate something pretty soon after and I felt fine.  Not everyone feels icky after it.

    I'm confused - are you supposed to fast before the test? My doctor's office told me I didn't need to.

    Different offices have different protocols. Lots of my girlfriends didn't have to fast before their test but I did. If your doctor didn't say anything your probably in the clear.

    Thanks! I just confirmed with them that I don't need to fast. (Counting myself lucky!)

    I had to fast.  And the test went fine!  I got a major headache, but no other icky feelings! YAY, now just to find out the results tomorrow.  AND I now go on to my 2 week appointments.  Baby girl's HB was 145!  Oh, and I am only up 4 pounds this month bringing me to a total of 12 pounds gained total.  I am on cloud nine this afternoon!  Thank you ladies for all your encouraging words!  And good luck to all those still waiting on results or to test.
