2nd Trimester

Gestational diabetes test: Volcanic Explosion!

Well, I drank the Glucola.  It didn't taste as bad as I thought it would.  But, it immediately gave me a headache.  Then, while I waited the required hour, I started to feel uncomfortable and the waiting room quickly felt hot to me. Out of nowhere, I lost control...and everything came up!  Yuck!  Now,  I have to go back tomorrow and try again.  Joy!

Seems that some women, like me, have a negative reaction to the drink.  

Hopefully tomorrow will be better, since they asked me to now fast before the test.  I think, for me, eating food 1 hour before the test, only aggravated my stomach.

  • Your experience was my biggest fear.  Thankfully all went well for me and I passed the test.  Good Luck to you tomorrow!!

  • It hope things are better for you tomorrow. It may have helped that the day I took it I had only eaten an apple. Good luck!

    I know!!  But, I chose to do it again so quickly so that I can get this test done sooner rather than later.  I think I'll be okay tomorrow since I can't eat after midnight.  I'll keep you all posted!! 

  • That happened to me last week, but I only had a third of the drink down.  I was driving, too.  Good times.
  • Honestly, I almost did the same thing. I was drinking it like a champ, since they want you to drink it within 5 minutes, then I got an unpleasant feeling in my stomach and thought "whoa, I better take a minute to rest". My OB said one of those little bottles has as much sugar as 2 20oz Cokes and you drink it all in 5 minutes. No wonder you want to throw up.
