Guest guest Posted January 9, 2003 Report Share Posted January 9, 2003 I have had it done with every PG before including this one. The orange drink reminds me of a really sweet soda. I didn't get sick but I did have someone go with me incase I did because I have gotten sick from it in the past. The first one I had to do was the orange and they do a blood test an hour later but because I failed that one, I had to take a 3 hour test. The drink was lemon/lime and I had to fast before it. We passed that one. It really isn't that bad especially if you are used to drinking regular soda. GLUCOSE SCREENING Okay, who can fill me in on this??? I just got back from my dr. appt. and next time I go in I have to drink that orange stuff to get my blood tested. Is this stuff gross and will it make me sick? Should I have someone drive me that day in case I get sick. I read on the bottle taht it can cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal bloating, and headache. I told my ob that I never have been screened for this before with my other pg. He just looked at me?!?! Is it normal to get this done with EVERY pg. If so, I just wonder how my past ob's could have let it pass by without noticing. Unless there was some other way to test for this 8 years, I didn't get the screening cause I never remember having to drink anything before with my other 3.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2003 Report Share Posted January 9, 2003 : I never had to do this with my other 4 either but am required to do it between weeks 25-28 with this pregnancy, maybe it's because of age I'll be 40.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2003 Report Share Posted January 9, 2003 , No need to fret. The orange stuff shouldn't really make you ill. When I had my first child 18 yrs ago I had to go for a 8 hour glucose tolerence test. Yes, 8 hrs- every hour for 8 hrs I had to drink a bottle of the orange stuff. The only negative affect it had on me was I hated orange soda for the longest time after that! I'm still not too fond of it Needless to say when I had to have the test done with my next 3 pregnancies I didn't choose the orange flavor, I opted for the coke flavored. But they were only 1 hour tests so it didn't taste as bad. Good Luck. Dewah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2003 Report Share Posted January 9, 2003 I didn't get a choice either. They have orange for the 1 hour test and lemon/lime for the 3 hour test. They had different amounts of glucose in them. Re: GLUCOSE SCREENING LOL!!! They didn't give me a choice. I just got the orange. > , > No need to fret. The orange stuff shouldn't really make you ill.
