I just read a huge article on the glucola for the gestational diabetes test. Did you drink it? Or are you going to? Has anyone tried the Jelly bean method or another alternative?

I know, I've just read multiple articles that have made me think twice. and personally I'd rather eat some jelly beans then drink something with some stuff I don't know about. @momof3boyz

I don't drink Mt dew.. "BVO is transferred from mother’s milk to the nursing infant. BVO has been associated with heart lesions, fatty changes in the liver, and impaired growth and behavioral development, and both animal and human studies have linked BVO to neurological problems, fertility problems, changes in thyroid hormones and precocious puberty.”

I'm sorry, but jellybeans won't be any better than that drink. Whatever is in the drink can't be worse than the artificial flavors and dyes in candy. Those things are linked to behavioral issues in children and many other problems. And while BVO is a flame retardant, it is also safe unless you have it in excess, like anything else. If you drink Mt. Dew, you drink BVO.

it's very scary. I don't know about you ladies, but I'd rather eat 28 pieces of candy, rather then drinking something that contains "a flame retardant"...

Yes.. i wouldn't mind baring the taste. it can be bad for you and your baby in many ways. plus the test is not very accurate. So I'd rather not risk hurting my baby. @trinitysmommy @kellynicole @michelleaaliyah @tlokitabella91 Thank you for trying to make me feel better about the taste though lol I'm just wondering if my doctor will let me do something different even..

I'm pretty sure a lot of hospitals that don't offer the other 2 because not a lot of woman know of those other options.
