Glucose Test - 1 hour version

8/19/2014

WOW TALK ABOUT PREGNANCY BRAIN.  It sure has been a busy day off and now my brain appears to have shut off.  I  wrote the title for this blog and then no content before I  posted it.

Well Today I did my first and hopefully only glucose test for this pregnancy. For those who have never taken it you drink this sugar liquid and then have to sit for an hour before the take your blood to measure your glucose levels. In the past they had used a coke like solution that was super sweet and those who had it said it was terrible to drink. These days they use a more bland sugar solution that while not bad to drink is definitely not pleasant to drink. I just hope I do not FAIL the test which means the glucose reading is to high. This does not mean that I necessarily have Gestational Diabetes, just that it could be. It does mean that I would have to do the two hour test which also has an additional blood test required to complete and not peeing for two hours. If you are or have been pregnant you know that it is hard for a pregnant women to hold it for two hours and just sit around and wait.

    Trying again can be a scary and exciting time.  I am glad I focused on the exciting part after my miscarraige and had my son as a result.
