I don't understand why you wouldn't do everyhting you could to try to protect your baby even if it meant making you sick or uncomfortable. It's a non invasive easy test that could predict the future outcome of your baby.... Scary to think that my discomfort about drinking a glass of sugar goop would stop me from keeping my baby safe
I think this is quite harsh as she didn't seem to understand the dangers of not doing the test before this thread and was wondering if there were alternative options. Which is definitely OK.
Op, if I didn't have a history of gd, they were going to just have me have a breakfast with a glass of orange juice an hour before my appointment and getting my blood drawn. But since I have a history of it they told me to have a protein rich breakfast 2 hours before and then I had the drink an hour before. Maybe ask if you can eat a breakfast with something with sugar like juice instead at the right time? There are alternative ways to find out. I know how miserable it is. I kept barely passing the one hour with my second so I had to keep taking the three hour and throwing up and rescheduling. I wish I had known then there were other ways to test it.
