What exactly do I do to take the glucose test? do I take the drink with me and drink it after I check in w the blood ?
@babyace, I did but I live in a small town so results come back way quicker.
thanks and u found out right away?? @rachel.potts
@babyace, so I got done with everything. the drink tastes like an orange flat soda with extra carbonation. it made me a little light headed but it wasn't that bad. I also don't have diabetes. thank god. good luck
@babyace, yeah that's the kind I got too. haha this is gonna be so much fun
Yeah lol I heard it's gross ! wbu? @rachel.potts
@babyace, not yet. I will be at 12:40 I will let you know. did you get the orange flavor?
Ok thanks! did u take it yet ? @rachel.potts
@babyace, you drink the drink within five minutes. record the time that you finished the drink. They will draw your blood at exactly an hour from the time you recorded. don't eat or drink anything after you drink the drink though :)
No its not carbonated. it taste like flat soda syrup. at My ob they take your blood, wait 30 mins, then make you drink the drink, wait an hour, draw your blood, and do it again in another hour.
I don't think so it just tastes almost like it. like someone just put a lot of sugar into a fruity drink
I had lemon lime. it wasn't bad. I wanted orange lol. just not fruit punch cause I hate that flavor. its not so bad just like a super sugary discount brand soda lol
@fleajohnson lol yeah the Dr just said if I ate sweet stuff to not take it but I heard the orange one is nasty !
sorry didn't see the other comment so I kinda repeated everything my bad. they told me I could refrigerate it but I'm weird and like room temp drinks so I don't know if I'm going to yet.
Alright thanks I was confused bc I had a different Dr today and she didn't really say much thanks so much # @steph11
no problem. I wish they had done mine that way. I went to the doctor Monday and they were like oh you have your sugar test drink this and sit for an hour. they didn't even warn me.
I'm drinking mine at home I don't wanna wait there for a hour. I also don't need a appointment. just tell the receptionist that you are there for the 1 hour glucose blood draw.
Oh ok that makes sense now idk why I didn't think about it lol thank you @fleajohnson
well with me I drank it there because they didn't let me take my drink home at all. but I think if they gave it to you to take home then you drink it an hour before you go if I'm not mistaken.
And yeah same here they told me to refrigerate it first bc it tastes better then to go to any blood lab @steph11
But I can drink it when I get there and let them know ? @dec_sept_apr @steph11 @fleajohnson and what would I tell them I'm there for
you drink the little bottle then wait an hour to get your blood drawn
they gave me my drink to take home. I can drink it at home with in 5 min. I just have to be at my ob exactly 1 hour later so they can take my blood.
I had to drink my drink within like 2 minutes or so and then 1hr later they took my blood.
need suggestions....
So at work we have a drink thief. Any time we put a drink in the fridge it disappears. I swear I know who it is. So far he's taken drinks from everyone that works in the office, we even put a sign to not take anything you didn't pay for and wrote our names on the drinks. The person I think is taking them works out of the office so we never get to see who is drinking them.
Do you think it’s safe to drink Red Bull while pregnant? I don’t drink coffee or any other energy drinks. So this would basically be the one && only.
*Update*
Well I never drink energy drinks. Or coffee. We were in the car && my fiancé had a new flavor. I was like I want to try it, take a few big gulps, saw the label && panicked. I’m wasn’t sure before that if I’m not supposed to have any. So I asked a few friends && made a post in here. I was wondering about that’s all ...

Ok ladies, honest opinions, I can take it. What do you think of the purple?
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
