Today I had my 26 week Dr.'s appointment and just thought it was going to be the usual...pee in a cup, check your blood pressure, step on the scale and try not to cry, wait for the Dr. to talk to you for a min, listen to the baby's heart beat, and then reschedule for 4 weeks out for my next appointment.
Well, much to my surprise when I arrived this morning they asked me if I was ready for my glucose test. I told them I had no idea that the test was today. They had forgotten to tell me about the test, but it was okay because I hadn't eaten breakfast because eating before 10:00am makes me sick. So, I went ahead and enjoyed the Breakfast of Champions...10 ounces of pure lemon lime Glucose.
I had heard mixed reviews about this lovely little drink. Some people said it wasn't too bad and it tasted like a flat sprite. Some other people told me that it was just out right awful and worth gagging over. If anyone knows me well they know that I struggle drinking any kind of liquid medicine and have my whole life. So I was expecting the worst just to be prepared. But lucky for me it was just like a flat sprite compared to other things that I have had to drink for medical purposes...Another story another day!
But I happy to report that I chugged the drink in two swallows and I survived the hour long ordeal with flying colors and hopefully I don't have Gestational Diabetes.
Oh and for those who care...I will post a baby bump picture soon.
I got orange and didn't mind it... but it's also better cold? Don't know if you get that option from them...
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your baby bump...I'm sure you look really cute!
That little bottle proved really evil for me, and is a big reason why I only had one child. I hope it is a much better experience for you. I can't wait to see your little bump...it will probably show up for you in 10 more weeks. :)
