Glucose test was fine

People tend to post about their high-highs and low-lows, especially their lows, and not a lot of the in between so I’ve decided to make an effort to post or comment about my completely mundane experiences during this pregnancy. This is for all you other anxious Googlers who expect the worst (hi, I’m one of you).

This was the 1-hour test. I dropped into the lab during my lunch break. I didn’t have to fast so I’d eaten a breakfast burrito, a yogurt, and a venti half-caf breve in the four and half hours prior. I picked the fruit punch flavor and it tasted like slightly concentrated red Gatorade. I had five minutes to drink it but I got it down in under a minute. It may help that I already have a sweet tooth? I did not feel the urge to puke. The hour wait was boring. I didn’t feel very jittery during that hour. The blood draw was standard. The lab techs were very professional.

I don’t have results yet so it’s possible I failed and will have to come back for the longer test, but all in all it was routine and uneventful.

Hoping for all of your next procedures or appointments to be as equally mundane!
