I don't want to do that again...

TallyKyle · April 2015

So today I had an early screening for gestational diabetes. I am 8 weeks 4 days. I felt a little dizzy and had a slight headache after drinking my fruit punch flavored glucose concoction, but I figured I would be OK. I generally get a little light headed when I have blood drawn, but nothing too bad.
There ordered for 6 vials to be drawn a little more than an ounce of blood. I felt fine while my blood was being drawn, but got a little woozy when they took the rubber strap off my arm. So I leaned back thinking I would be OK.
I could feel my temp climbing so I asked or an ice pack and had my hubby get my water bottle from the car. I took a small sip and then exploded.
Pink vomit came flying out of my mouth. Hubby barely had enough time to get me the trash can. I heaved and heaved and heaved. That was the first time I had vomited during this pregnancy.
I really hope I never have to do that again. I'm sure I will, but hopefully without the puking. I am still feeling nauseous and o can't fall asleep.

I did that with my glucose test, but I was about 28 weeks when they did it. Thank God that I had already given the vampires my quota or I would have to do it again. Hope it's better for you next time around!

I'm 10 weeks & haven't had to do that. I hope your feeling better. I swear pregnancy is the happiest. Time to feel like complete crap. Im praying this nausea stops at 12 weeks & I get some energy back.

The glucose screenings are aweful my best advise is to drink a lot of water after the lovely concoction and walk around as much a rounds you can. It seems to help.
