No harm at all just morning I felt sick as I had hypremisis but other then this just sitting for 2hours on horrible doctors chairs, make sure you take some water and something to do maybe puzzle book or game on ya phone or something to watch if the Internet dosent suck lol
No harm or risk at all.. I felt normal for both mine with this pregnancy ( I have GD this time around) and felt fine when I did it with my daughter.. got tired once I started crashing from the sugar but that was it..
I had to take it around 12 weeks and then again at the normal time. Passed the first time, failed the second, did the 3 hour test and passed. People say the drinks are gross, but I honestly didn't mind them. I personally don't like having my blood drawn (having blood drawn a ton and 2 IVs placed simultaneously when I had sepsis made me despise needles) but other than that it was just boring. Lol
If you don’t like needles you can buy Emla cream from the pharmacy, pop it on where they will do the blood tests 2 hours before and it numbs the area completely. It’s been a life saver for me as I have a needle phobia and can get through it with that ok!
Just finish my test .. the first test went well .. but second ones was painfully because they had to inject me twice in different arm before they could get blood .. I cried .. but thank God it went well
You'll be fine, I felt sick because I had trouble with sickness pretty much throughout, you basically don't eat or drink anything and then they give you a sugary drink and you wait.. it was boring more than anything. No harm for you or baby. I think there is a possibility of kicking once the sugar hits but that's about it.
