Gluclose test

vgirl33vb

I am 26 weeks and 5 days. I took my gluclose test last Wednesday and found out on Friday that I did not pass the test. So now I have to go back in next week for my appointment and take the three hour test. UGH!! Has anyone been through this? I didn't have this issue with my first pregnancy but this pregnancy I seem to have more symptoms and issues.

@vgirl33vb I just finished my 3-hour a few hours ago. I was soooo stressed about everything from the fasting to the drink to the needles and I have to admit it wasn't nearly as bad as I imagined. I am still worried about the possibility of having GD but I wish I wouldn't have worried so much about the actual testing. My veins are sore, but the drink is small and not so bad. Just bring a snack with you so you can eat immediately after because by the end you are going to be super hungry and a little shaky from no food or water. Don't worry - if I can do it, you can do it. Good luck and I hope you pass! (I get results on Wednesday.)

Being that we're all at pretty much the same stage pregnancy wise, it is probable that other posters will experience the same thing. There's actually a thread already on Glucose Tests. Here's the link so you can check it out:

I was told not to eat anything before the test and that I can only drink water.
