Whether or not it is just another one of a long list of quirks I am accumulating, but I found the glucose test drink pleasant ! A bit like drinking the cheap brands of lemonade, which to me was great as I was hot, running late, and looking for something to drink. Just read my book for an hour, had the other tests done (bloods) and then waddled off again. Fortunately the results came back fine, although in the mean time I was hit with that lovely ligament problem

the two hour test is a little worse cos the drink is really sweet and syrupy and there is more of it. Plus this time round the stuff was warm so it made it even worse but I did enjoy being able to read in peace.
you can eat straight after the second blood test but only water while you are waiting.
Fingers crossed for a good result cos GD sucks! my poor fingers are sooooo sore.

Well I'm home and survived...feeling sodding tired, a bit like a pin cushion and have just scoffed some apricot chicken and now am looking for second course!
The nurses were really nice which was great. The first sips of the drink were fine but by the end of it I wanted to barf.
After the first hour the nurse told me I could go sleep out in my car if I liked as I look so tired and grot so it was nice to get a bit of a nap and one of the nurses came and woke me when it was time for the last tests.
So I'm just going to finish eating then get changed and amble into work.
Fingers crossed for a clear result!

Fingers crossed for you Paws! I have the referral form for the one hour polycose (the risk of GD with twins is higher, yay for me!) but haven't got around to it yet.
Had two GTT's and a polycose with Maya and they sucked. The first GTT I had to start all over again as I chucked up everywhere. Very attractive. But what did they expect, I had bad morning sickness, and my tummy didn't like that the first thing going into it after 12 hours of starvation was that revolting sweet fizzy stuff.

Yeah I must admit that for a little while I really thought I was going to barf...the idea of having to start all over again put a stop to that thankfully!
