I had the test two weeks ago and honestly was fine. I was a bit hungry, as it's a fasting test, but that was about it. I had to sit in a room at the maternity hospital for a couple of hours, as they wanted me to stay as still as I could. But it really was fine.
I had the test with my first and also have IBS and my body didn't really react to the drink at all, also the fasting helps! Try not to overthink it, you'll be fine x
Thank you. I know it’s completely unreasonable thinking but that’s the beauty of anxiety. It really does affect my life.
Sorry if I’m not understanding correctly but what does the gdt have to do with pooing? I’ve had it twice but don’t see any possible connection between them so I’d say you’re fine?
@Hayley that’s why I’ve asked. Because I’ve never had it and wanted to know if anyone had an experience of it…..
Yea I understand that but have you been told there’s something you do which would cause you to poo? That’s what I was trying to understand that maybe you think the test is something that it’s not which is causing the anxiety xx
@Hayley I can eat anything or drink and it happens. A lot of it is anxiety related. Think I just needed to see reassurance
I would hope the drink it’s enough to cause it as it’s just the 1 drink much like a capri sun with a screw cap. If it were to get bad is there a possibility of running home? I’d assume my midwife’s would be ok with it as long as I was back for the next blood test. Hopefully with the combination of fasting it will be okay
I had the test was absolutely fine and didn’t need the loo before , during or after x
@Kelly thank you so much x
I had the GTT with my first & having it again on Wednesday.. you have to fast sooo I can’t really imagine it would make you feel that way 🤷🏼♀️
