Come week 25 to 28 you’ll likely be partaking in a test for gestational diabetes, a disease about 4 percent of pregnant women end up getting. I went through it last week, and assure you it’s much easier than the amnio, but I would recommend booking a morning appointment for the test. It makes chugging the orange, sugary glucose drink a little more difficult, but the extended fasting period a lot easier.
Managing to finish the drink in five minutes is really the hardest part, then it’s just a matter of getting to the doc within an hour to have your blood drawn, and waiting a day or two for the results.
For more info on the test and what a positive results means check out these articles at Web MD and the American Diabetes Association.
