gestational diabetes test?

[KatieNor]

So I'm doing my 3 hour test tomorrow. I'm really not excited but I know it has to be done! How bad is it not eating for 3 hours and drinking that stuff? Will I feel sick? I have heard about women passing out due to sugar levels going crazy does that happen? The one hour wasn't bad at all but everyone says the 3 hour is horrible!

I just did the 3hr test last week. Around hour #2 I started to get a little nauseous feeling but I was fine. Unfortunately I had slightly abnormal results and have to check my blood sugar 4 times daily now.

So I took my test today. It went fine my arms hurt like he11 but that's okay too. I will know in a week what the results  are I'm hoping all is good but we will see!

The part that ***** the most is I'd your instructed to stay at the office. I have kaiser they just had me go in and put every time. So I would keep myself busy till it was time go on in. But you definitely  can't eat. Waters ok. They do take a control blood test then you drink the stuff under 5 min then the min
Your done it's written Down and your told when your next blood hrs are. After my 3 blood draw I was getting really hungry I fasted from 745 pm the night before by the time my last blood draw happened when I got to my mom's ( she lives across the street from the kaiser I was going) I was sweating,felt loopy ,faint, hungry,breathing fast.... but j thought I was just me hungry but as soon as I walked into the kitchen into ate and ate and ate. Then just kinda relaxed till all those feelings  subsided. As it turns out my blood sugar went dangerously  low from 3 blood draw to the last. So I suggest keep a snack in the car for right after. Some thing like a twinky.... it's bready  and sweet... just think carb  snack.my 3 hr glucose test with  my first 2 kids were similar. I never pass the 1 hr test even if I fast before hand. But my results come back normal or just low at the end of it all. But it's a pain in the butt.

I just did mine last week. It wasn't bad. I wasn't able to eat after midnight the night before and then could only have water during the test. It was hard in was hungry close to the end. But it went by pretty quick. I only felt kinda weak as I got home and was eating. I finally mate around 1130! Was along time to go without food and each person will be different. The 3 hr drink is sweeter than the one hour one.

Yeah actually I'm here for it now and just found out about all the blood they will be taking... ridiculous! Praying it all comes out perfect

I wasn't allowed to eat for 12 hours before my 3 hour.test, also the drink is small and not bad. The orange tastes like fanta and the red one tastes like syrupy hawaiian punch. The worst for me is you have to give blood 4 times. Once when you get there and then again every hour for the 3 hours. I hate needles though. I get my results my results tomorrow. I hope the results come out normal.

I'm doing my 3 hour tomorrow too. And on top of that I have killer heartburn and all I have is tums which I can't take. Hopefully time goes quick for us and we pass. Can't wait for tomorrow afternoon.
