Post-GD Test

PeachyBella

I felt fine during the dreaded GD test -- not light-headed or anything. But now I'm back at work and feel like a complete slug. Unmotivated to do much of anything except maybe take a nap, which obviously isn't feasible. Anyone else feel like that after drinking the solution?

Every time I've taken that test I always feel horrible for the rest of the day.  I always take the day off.

I just had mine and felt light headed until after my last blood draw and I was able to eat. Im trying to drink lots of water today. Hope you get a kick of energy!

Bella, I'm in the same situation. I'm still at the dr office, doing the 3 h test. The drink itself wasn't that bad, but after 20 min my body started to feel it;)
I did feel light headed, sweating and weak; and now I'm ready to fall asleep on this couch.

Most likely mine is GD, baby is growing to fastand gsin weight in excess ( 8lb in 4 w) but we won't know for sure until the blood results get back.

I wish you all the best!!!!

I felt yucky for a couple hours and just tried to drink a ton of water to flush the nasty orange drink out of my system.  It also could have been the blood draw that made me feel gross, but I chugged water and took a nap.  I felt 100000000 times better when I woke up.  I hope you can fit in a nap!!

Me too. I took it first thing in the morning then went to work and was a complete bum. I couldn't focus on anything. Next time I take it, I'm going to take a sick day. It just wasn't worth being at work. (I get to take it twice due to family history... yay)

Yes for me the sugar just knocks me down.  I hope you feel better today!

Yep. Between my last pregnancy and this pregnancy, I've already taken it 6 times (1 hr and 3 hour while pregnant with DS and then 1 hour and 3 hour after he was born because my numbers weren't going down and then the 1 hour and 3 hour this time around at 8 weeks.  At least 1 more to go!  Joy!

Oh man, that is rough! My fingers are crossed that you at least won't have to take the 3 hr one again!

I felt so cruddy yesterday... headache and sugar crash... a little 5 minute walk outside got me through the rest of the day

Ok, ladies. I feel much better knowing we're all in the same boat! And I'm so sorry to those of you who've had to take it so many times! Ugh! I didn't think it tasted as bad as some people say, but the morning crash was no fun afterward.
