This week I failed the 1-hour glucose test, which determines if I have gestational diabetes. As a result, I have to take the 3-hour glucose test on Monday. I will fast for 12 hours before the test. When I get to the doctor's office, I'll have to drink a flat orange soda, wait in the doctor's office for 3 hours, and then have my blood drawn 4 times. Sounds like fun.
I'm not happy that I have to take off a day of work (since I'm trying to save my days off for maternity leave). I'm not happy that I have to spend my day off in the doctor's office. I'm not looking forward to getting stuck four times.
Fingers crossed that I pass the 3-hour test!
