Must i take the glucose test and the stress test for the baby? I'm really against this stress test n…

I think u have to take glucose test

Oh boy

I had to take the glucose one but not the stress one

There are alternatives to the regular glucose test. I think one is called the jellybean method? Look into it as an option. I got a glucose meter and tested my blood for 2 weeks. 4 times a day and kept a log which then went to my midwife.

The stress one is nothing really you just lay there. The glucose you have to. I did fine with the 1hr but the 3hr I failed because I can't handle sugar too well.

you have to take the glucose test because of gestational diabetes and the stress test if you have to take it, you are hooked up to a monitor and get to listen to babys heart beat for a while and mark their movement. at the end I had to take 2 stress tests a week I was high risk with diabetes

Why are you against the nst? I only had one with my first because I went in because I didn't feel him much. I don't believe I'll have one this time around unless needed. There are tons of alternatives to the glucose test including jelly beans and full meals. Ask your doc.

I just like things much more natural... Don't wanna go thru all of this. In the Caribbean we never go through these stuff n our children comes out normal

the glucose one I passed but it made me SUPER light headed and the drink made me ill...like halfway through the drink my body was telling me to put it down 😑

I think pregnant women should have decisions if to take a certain test or not

I feel the same way...

Oh definitely you have a choice to take it or not. But the nst is for high risk situations and isn't a routine thing and it's very non invasive. It's not something they do just because in a low risk pregnancy.
