Hi Girls,

Had my doc appointment yesterday. Everything is fine: my weight gain, BP, heard the HB on doppler it was 152. The visit lasted for a very short time. I am 25wks+2days today. My doc has scheduled me for a glucose test that I can take in the next week or so, what I forgot to ask her is: should I fast before the Glucose test or is it ok to have a light breakfast. Will give her a call in a day or two in the meantime it wud be good to know how u girls proceeded with the glucose test.

Bye,

Hope everyone is doing really great. Well as my tummy gets bigger, and the kicks are harder my excitement level is also on a rise...

I have to sit long hours in front of a computer for my job and I have a terrible back pain which is really annoying, the pain is not in an particular region but its concentrated on a specific point, hey all you expectant mommies, any suggestions how I can avoid/ help this?

Also I hear this is the best time to take a holiday as it will be difficult to move around as I get bigger so I’m planning a little outing soon. Anybody been on a holiday recently? Share the experience & the tips.

Loves

Good to know things are fine on ur end :)

i have my 28th week visit tomorrow , i also have my glucose test scheduled for tomorrow and i spoke wiht my nurse today afternoon .... she said i can eat normally , as blessed_mom said it is for 3 hour test that we need to fast (they do taht if these results do not look Ok .. i think)

all my nurse told em was not to eat soemthing really sweet just before the test as that might show wrong results ....

Hi Leo,

glad to know that everything is fine with you and the little one. You can have your breakfast for this glucose test. It is for the 3hr test we have to fast. But for the lhr test, you can eat. Even I have to go to the laboratory to have my 1hr glucose test done. Everything else is fine with me. Enjoy and takecare.

Its very good that everything is going well at your end.Well,you can have light breakfast before going Glocose test.Once u reach there they will give u a solution which u have to finish which will be more sweet in taste and after one hour(when u finish that sweet solution) they will take blood for test.I hope this will help you if u have any question u can post them here..
Best of luck for your GT.
Take care

sj replied. I am scheduled for the Glucose test on the 20th and the doctor asked me to have a toast or some crackers but nothing with lot of sugar. They have scheduled me for an early appt at 9.

I will wait for others who have already completed the test and get more info for myself.
