There has to be a better way..

Did the one hour GD screen late this afternoon. I feel so horrible right now. I have eaten, but by the way I feel, I am guessing not enough.  

 There has to be a better way.

Water was the only thing that really helped me feel better afterwards.

 Hope you feel better!

Hang in there, I did mine firs thing in the morning both times and felt like crap the rest of the day. I did drink a ton of water but I was overly thirsty and it didn;t make me feel better. A nap helped a little though.

TMI warning: I had the worst diarrhea after my 1 hr test. Not sure if it is related to the glucose drink or not. I felt fine right afterward and for about 4 hours after, then all of a sudden I just got the worst stomach ache and could not get off the toilet. So maybe you just have to poop lol! I hope you feel better!

Oh no...I have to go in for mine sometime this week. I was worried because I thought you had to fast before, but when I got the paperwork from my doctor yesterday, he said there was no need to fast. I've never done well with needles/shots/blood and have struggled to make it through the 4 blood draws so far. The first one, I turned completely white, sweated through my shirt and had to lay down for an extra half-hour before I could leave. 

I have a feeling this is going to be really bad. Do you think it is the drink they give you at the beginning that made you feel sick? 

 Anyways, thanks for the heads up...this has convinced me to go after work versus first thing in the morning, that way I can just go home and crash afterwards instead of having to be productive for the day.

I threw up and nearly fainted after my 1 hr test.  Unfortunately, they've scheduled me for the 3 hr test coming up this week.

The test is sort of designed to make you feel like hell.  You drink pure glucose which jacks your blood sugar up and then you fast for an hour and they watch it plummet and then test to see how your body handles it.  I definitely recommend going in the afternoon. Sleep has made me feel completely back to normal.  I think everyone reacts a little differently.  I was grumpy and shaky and queasy all night long.  I have read that it is smart to have a high protein snack available to eat immediately after.  I was prepared (I had trail mix in the car) but then my OB appointment took 90 minutes because she was delivering a baby.  Not her fault of course, i should have just asked and walked down to the car and get the snack.  But i thought i was doing fine.  the really bad feelings didn't hit me for severe hours.  Still waiting on the results.  

 Good Luck!! I hope i am just being dramatic and you feel just fine!

I must have a pretty hardcore sugar problem right now.  I kind of liked the drink and it didn't bother me at all, haha.

Expecting our second baby on February 7, 2013. Trusting Him whatever comes our way.

We lost our first daughter, Hannah Grace on May 4, 2011 at 20 weeks. She was buried on May 14 during a beautiful service at my home church. We are grateful that if she could not be here with us, that she is healed and whole with the Lord. We look forward to the day when we will get to meet her. We love her so much.
