Scared of glucose test tomorrow

Ladies please help. I have to go take my glucose test tomorrow and I am FREAKING TF OUT lmao I’ve cried 3 times today over it . I’m so terrified it’ll make me nauseous/vomit or feel weird . I have always been terrified of vomiting and haven’t yet this pregnancy even with severe nausea but idk this test mentally is just overwhelming and then what if I fail and have to do it again or deal with Ges-diabetes 😢 How was it for you mamas, did you fast before your 1hr? My doc said I didn’t have to but Ik others say they did

I did fast before. I had the orange drink it was actually really tasty to me and not too sweet! I didn’t feel nauseous or anything just a little sleepy tbh

Eat something small, like an egg and non buttered toast, no sugar before, only water, I fasted with my first born and threw up, didn’t fast with my current and I was fine!

The last time I ate was 9:30pm and then took the drink at 7am and took the blood test at 8am. Did drink some water right before I drank the drink. Did this for both my pregnancies and passed both. I do think that fasting a bit does help :)

Don’t stress that much!! I get it though- when I first took the test with my oldest, I was really really fearful like you of getting nauseous or throwing up. But I did not and I don’t think most people do! Is it fun to drink a super sugary drink quickly? No, but you will be okay I promise! I never fasted before my 1 hour. It made me feel better to have some food in my belly before. But I always stick with a few scrambled eggs and a piece of toast. No juice or pastries. Just plan to stop and get a hearty meal after like a chicken sandwich or something. I always treat myself to chic fil a after 😋

I did mine on Thursday. Honestly, it’s not that bad. I honestly thought I was gonna fail as I’ve been drinking sodas and eating so much sweets. Everything came back normal, it was just my iron was low. I went out and had breakfast with my sister, sister in law (her wife), aunt and uncle (from out of town) and my son before my appointment (2pm).

I had heard that the drink was mostly okay n just tasted like a flat soda n that's exactly what it tasted like to me maybe a little bit sweeter but not bad I drank it no problem. But I had the lime one which was clear and even tho that was my only one I've had I've heard it's the best n stand by it. I was super nervous I would fail as diabetes runs in my family but I passed with flying colors! You got this mama!!!

I was also told I didn’t need to fast so had some water, eggs and toast for breakfast about an hour before I had the drink. The drink wasn’t nearly as bad as I had hyped myself up for and I took along some of my grading to pass the hour while I waited, it helped take my mind off it!

I was scared as well but it wasn’t bad. I did the orange drink and I did not chug it I took 4 minutes to drink it just incase my body didn’t like it then 1 hour later blood work and your out the door

You’ll be fine- I did the natural one so I didn’t have to drink that orange crap. It really isn’t a big deal

I ordered the Fresh Test and didn’t get sick at all! Highly recommend if your docs allow 🙏🏼

I was just fine yall! Tasted good to me and I passed! Definitely over worried
