Ask a group of moms "Is the glucose test really THAT bad""" and you'll get plenty of replies.
BabyCenter Community member Qk2015 recently posted that question on her birth board, explaining, "I have mine in 3 weeks and am a little nervous because everyone makes it out to be so awful! Is it as bad as everyone says or is it really no big deal"" A quick glance at a few of the replies she received...
spitfirekitty: Did mine today. Not a big deal at all.
acnd08: Mine is Wednesday and I feel the same way you do. I am convinced I am going to throw every bit of it up! *crosses fingers*
mlizt92: The drink was no problem, very sweet but not bad tasting. Mine tasted kinda like super sweet Sprite. However, it knocked me completely off. I was exhausted and had a bad headache for the rest of the day. Thankfully I passed - though only just.
XxOceXx: Honestly I hate it. I had the orange drink and to me it does kinda taste like flat orange soda but with extreme sugar...and I also can't stand getting my blood drawn even if I don't look. It makes me feel sweaty and I hear buzzing...and last time I was so lucky, I ended up puking 5 mins before I got my blood drawn.
BabyGiggling: Uh...I didn't mind the drink, but I felt like I had a major hangover for the rest of the day. Headache, nausea etc...felt really terrible. I failed mine by only 5 points, so I have to go do a 3 hr test tomorrow...twice the sugar...I'm screwed.
Yo...
