kmbabycrazy · Apr 1st, 2012, 14:28 PM

I have mine on Tuesday and not allowed to eat or drink anything but water from the night before...not looking forward to it as I am usually nibbling on something be it fruit, mints, sweets or something until I'm ready for bed lol. It gets me out of work for half the day though so i'm not complaining all that much lol x

I had it this morning, it was so boring! The drink was vile and looked like wee!

Then I hate to wait in the waiting room for 2 hours, was so bored and it was so stuffy that i felt really dizzy and ended up lying on one of the beds for an hour and a half! My OH thought I was being ridiculous! But i have been put on medication by my doctors for dizziness so hoping it wasn't realted to the gd test.

I get my results tomorrow and if it's all clear then I get re-tested at 28 weeks!

Will let you know what the results are tomorrow
