I just read a huge article on the glucola for the gestational diabetes test. Did you drink it? Or are you going to? Has…

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

if it was that dangerous to drink they wouldn't have u drink it. everything u eat or drink can be bad for u in large amounts.

@liveitwithlove,

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.

exactly! @sabreycastro1996

whoops 😂 sorry @hermommy

@mommy2be15, that is correct.

@michelleaaliyah

you eat I think it was 28 jellybeans which is equal to the 50gs of sugar in the glucola

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"...

you eat 28 jelly beans and they draw your blood@michelleaaliyah

So what is the jelly bean test? @hermommy @mommy2be15

True @sabreycastro1996 I think I'm going to talk to my doctor about my concerns and see of I can bring my own jellybeans @hermommy

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.

it's not the taste ladies it's what's in kit

exactly that drink is bad for the mom and baby

its not that bad to be honest justbrally sweet.

I didn't even know there was a jelly bean test lol.. I drank it and to me it just tasted like think sweet orange soda kinda it wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be lol

I took the glucose test today... The drink tastes like uncarbonated orange dose not bad at all

i didnt have a choice. i had to drink it. some hospitals dont have different options.

Same! That sounds a lot smarter.. why not? @hermommy

same here and I'm opting for the jelly bean test
