1 hr. Glucose Test - 12 weeks

I am getting a 1hr glucose test at my 12 week appointment because I have a history of insulin resistance. I was just wondering if any of you ladies had one at 12 weeks and what it was like? Is it as simple as drink the stuff...wait...draw blood...then done?

    You will have to do it again at 26ish weeks. Some providers do it early as a precaution or because of family history, etc.

    My OB does one at the beginning of 2nd tri and again at 26wks.

    I didn't have it at 12 weeks, but my friend did.  You drink the stuff, wait an hour and then they take your blood.  It's the same as the one hour glucose at around 24-28 weeks.

    Bring a book or magazine to read.  Good luck!

    I have never passed a 1 hour. I just failed my 3 hour this pregnancy. I see it as I have 20 some weeks to get used to a different lifestyle instead of 9 or so weeks.
