Fruit Punch Oral Glucose Tolerance Beverage, anyone?



Yesterday, after drinking a horrid sugar drink cleverly packaged like a sports drink for a Glucosamine test coupled with laying on my back for an ultrasound made me darn near pass out at the doctor's office. Ugh, I don't know how people can do this pregnancy thing more than once, especially while caring for other small children. You gals must be made of iron.

And yes, that image on the screen still looks like a daughter.

♥ YUM! Just kidding! I always got the orange flavor... It didn't seem as bad as the rest.

I hate that test, hey prego woman, you can't go more than 45 minutes without eating or you get sick, but lets have you drink pure sugar on an empty stomach then sit around and wait for an hour! With number 3 I had Kevin stay home from work, went in early, then they asked me to wait 45 minutes to even get the drink!!! I was outta there, after complaining about that to my VT (who is also a doctor) she suggested getting the drink the day before and drinking it an hour before the lab opens then going in and saying, hey I need my blood drawn. It took a few fits, but the hospital finally let me have my way. Honestly people, it is such a pain and then finding a babysitter that early, Get Real! So there is my extra long rambling!

I got to choose between that drink and a snack bag of Starburst Jelly Beans. Needless to say, I went for the beans. I was harder to swallow than I thought.
