I just found out that I passed the gestational diabetes test. I was so worried that I would fail. If I failed I would have had to do a three hour test- which you have to fast for 10 hours for (why do they make pregnant women suffer?)- then you drink the drink again, and sit there for 3 hours- boring!!!! If you fail that one, you have to go on a NO sugar, carb counting diet (yeah right, all Danika wants is sugar and carbs!). If that doesn't control the diabetes then you have to give yourself insulin shots ever day. With my fear of needles- and bretts- I don't know how we would have handled that!!!! But I passed, so I am pretty sure that means no more needles or bloodwork until we get to the hospital!!!!!!
Side note- for others who have to do the glucose tolerance test- or the gestational diabetes test- they used to have an orange drink- which was horrible! But they have changed it to a lemon-lime- tastes like sprite- just a bit sweeter- it isn't bad. The only hard part I found was drinking it in 5 minutes!!!
