Feeling sick, fatigued and generally awful

Hi Everyone,
I am 29 weeks pregnant. I had my Glucose Tolerance Test on the weekend (saturday) and got very sick afterwards. It is now a couple of days later and I am still feeling sick and fatigued, I feel just awful. I got my results back and it was all normal!! My doctor told me the test shouldn't have made me feel like this, but the hospital said that it can be a normal reaction (although it should be out of your system in 24 hours. I was expecting to have gestational diabetes because my body is just feeling so terrible now.

What else could be wrong? Why am I feeling so sick and fatigued? I can actually feel tiredness in my arms from typing this. I seem to be feeling very sick after eating. And I have just been really fatigued since saturday. Any thoughts on what might be wrong are much appreciated...or is this possibly a normal part of pregnancy (here's hoping!!).

Hi,
I am feeling better today, I can't believe how long it took to get out of my system! Horrible, I was getting worried it was something else. Thank you!

im sure this is all normal i felt very unwell for two days after that test and i decided to just go to bed your body is telling you that it needs rest so you need to listen if your not feeling any better in a few days then id go to the doctor but im sure you will be, eat small amounts often, and try to drink plenty of water to help flush out the glucose good luck xx
