Today during my OB appointment, it was time for the generally dreaded Glucose test. I have personally never had any issues with the glucose test. To me, it tastes a bit like a Sunkist soda. Some pregnant women can't tolerate it much at all because it is too sweet. I had 5 minutes to drink it and then would have my blood drawn an hour after that. I had picked up the drink itself the other day after lunch so that I could drink it before getting to the Dr.'s office to save some time since I would be heading back to work after the appointment.
I got to my appointment and went back for the remainder of the check up while waiting for my blood draw. It was a good appointment too. I actually lost 2.4 lbs from the last appointment, which was fine with me since I had gained so much the last time. My blood pressure was good at 120/66 and the baby's heart rate was 138. By the time I finished meeting with the OB, I only had a few more minutes before the blood draw, so sat in the lobby until being called back. It took just a couple of minutes and then I headed back to work. Now to just wait for the results. They should be back within a week or so.
