3rd Trimester

My one hour glucose adventure.

For some reason, the special orange drink did not sit well with me. The first couple of swigs made me gag. Each subsequent sip made me throw up in my mouth, literally. I was determined to finish this damn test, however, so I did what I had to do - swallow my own vomit and finish the drink.

The next two minutes were comprised of this: gulp of orange drink, regurgitate, re-swallow, repeat. It was brutal.

After all was said and done, I was exhausted. Birdie however, was not. The orange drink turned her into The Great Cornholio in utero - I'm trying to nap and she's absolutely spazzing out, complete with roundhouse kicks to the ribcage.

If I failed this test and have to take the three hour, someone's getting nut-punched.

Re: My one hour glucose adventure.

  • Ewww. Hope you pass because the 3 hour drink is WAY more sugary! The first one didn't bother me or Dylan at all but man the 3 hour one made me feel hungover and sick and he was going CRAZY!! Good luck

  • Yucky that drink was yucky! It made me feel kind of sick to my stomach but I never threw it up.
  • I guess I should add that I have a very sensitive gag reflex. That didn't help, I suppose.

  • I did the test today as well and I really liked the drink. I had the red one...fruit punch, I think. It was funny because it reminded me of the trash can punch we used to drink in college....
  • Haha I'm so sorry it didn't go well for you but your description of Cornholio in utero made me laugh out loud.

     

  • I agree with pp - The fruit punch wasn't bad.  I've had the orange and lemon lime and those were GROSS!  I had the fruit punch for the 3 hour and it was fine. 
  • I didn't think the orange one was that bad, kinda like an intense Sunkist. My problem was that 45 minutes in I went to the front desk to book my appointment and I almost fainted. If you haven't taken it yet, make sure to eat something beforehand. 
  • I was all boasting that I had the white grape juice for my 1 hour this morning! As I pulled into the parking lot I gulped the last little bit down and then it came right back up!

    No joke, I was in the middle of a turn and I vomited in my mouth! I tried to hold it, then I swallowed and it came right back up all over my center console and radio! 

    I told my mid-wife that I vomited some juice but she wasn't concerned...she said that everyone come in feeling sick for the glucose test! I was like wtf! I have sticky juice all over my car now lady!
