Glucose test - yuck!

Well.. tomorrow, March 14 I go for my Glucose test.. I am not looking forward to it.. I am sure i will be sick when I drink that awful liquid!

I am so worried because I have such a sweet tooth.. I can't go a  day without having a treat -- not always bad stuff.. but lots of fruit (which also has lots of sugar)!!! So I am worried I have sealed my fate and that I will have gestational diabetes..

I guess no sense worrying until after tomorow.. wish me luck!!

It wasn't bad at all.  I had to do it three times, two 2-hours and one 3 hour test.  Thankfully, the tests came back normal in the end.  I think one of them was borderline, so they made me come back twice.  Bringing a good magazine or book is a must, though. 

They also tested for bladder infection / UTI.  I do have a bladder infection that they can't seem to get rid of.  I am on my second string of antibiotics and I am hoping on Thursday when they test again, that it is gone.  I really can't tell because the symptoms are similar to pg ones, but I would like peace of mind to know it is cleared up.

Good luck with your test!!
