@septbaby2016, Matter of fact I drank 2 of the 1 hr drinks because the first time I drank the 1hr drink I got in late and they had to reschedule for the next week lol... But there should be some kind of another way for you to do the test...
well I would discuss it with your doctor or if it's an alternative. personally I think u should do it because diabetes isn't a joke 😖 especially if you pregnant ... and also u can't believe everything u read on the internet or some weirdo has written in a book ... and let's say u don't take the test ... how sure are u that u don't have gestational diabetes how are you going to find that out ? and is it alternate test u can take ? @septbaby2016
@septbaby2016, The worse is that you will feel dizzy, have a lil nausea or headache... and I failed the 1hr and had to do the 3 hr and I was fine with both tests. The nurse made me feel better on the 3 hr by saying the drink is basically like drinking 3 cans of Coke, haha.
@septbaby2016, They wouldn't give it you if it would harm you, girl. To make you feel better girl do research before you decide. I won't lie I was the same way because I just didn't remember doing the test with my first (15 years ago). The 1hr drink is 50mg of sugar... the 3 hr is 100mg which is stronger if you fail the 1hr. It's just a sugar drink to check to see how well your body breaks down the sugar is all.
I think you have the right to say no, but it's to make sure you and baby are healthy so I don't see why you'd not want to take it. It can be harmful to your baby if you have it and don't do anything about it
