Gestational diabetes

I've got my GT test next week and not looking forward it.

Anyone had one previously and how did you feel afterwards. I'm not good when I've not eaten, very grumpy! The thought of fasting for hours is making me feel sick.

My urine samples have all been fine up to now, just got type 1 in family history. 

Any reasurances/advice would be greatly appreciated

thanks xxx

Hi, I have mine on Monday morning. I have had one in both my previous pregnancies and felt fine but had awful sickness throughout so drinking the lucozade and keeping it down was a challenge! It's just so boring as you have to stay at the hospital for the 3 hours. A good book is required. A food stop on the way home is a must. They also offer tea and toast at my hospital once you have had your second blood test.
Hope it goes ok for you x

I had mine last week and also had it done with my son as my dad I was diagnosed with diabetes after I had my daughter.

I get really sickly if I don't eat when I get up, but it was ok. we aren't allowed to have lucozade in my area and the drink they gave me was horrid but once I'd drunk it I was fine. Took a magazine to read as the two hour wait was very boring. So glad its over with now.

Hope your test goes okay xxx

Thanks ladies,

All done and it wasn't as bad as I thought. I did feel a bit woozy not eating and was tired all day afterwards, but didn't feel anywhere near as bad as I feared. 

Glad I'd taken plently reading material too!

Have you had your results yet? all ok?
