It's really not as terrible as I had been led to believe.
If you listen to a lot of the women on the boards, they all say "omg, it was so bad and I puked before I even got it down!"
But seriously... if you haven't done the 1-hour yet, it's really not that bad. I had the orange flavor and it just tastes like a cheap brand of sort-of flat orange soda. Not delicious, but definitely bearable.
Now I get to get to drive to the hospital, get my blood drawn, then hear LO's heart beat again!
Re: Just drank the glucose test stuff.
No - the taste isn't that bad. It just didn't settle well in my stomach, and that's when I puked it all back up....
Good luck.
It tasted like the sugar juice stuff they put in snow cones! For me it wasn't horrible but how it made me feel was the worst!

Agreed.. especially on an empty stomach and not being able to drink even water for the hour that you have to wait. It's really not THAT bad.. but it's in no way enjoyable!
Ugh, I'm one of those who thought it was awful. I had a hard time keeping it down.
I'm glad you are doing OK with it :-)
Well, I failed the 1-hour test.
The acceptable range is 75-139. Mine was 153. Boo.
So I get to go back in a couple of weeks to do the 3-hour.
