So a lot of these blogs during pregnancy seem to have your common topics. This one is on the dreaded GLUCOSE TEST!. Mollie didnt pass the first 1 hour test, but just barely. Luckily, today we found out that she does not have gestational diabeties! She had to take the 3 hour fasting test on Saturday, which was not fun. But in the end it was all worth knowing for sure. We had plenty of snacks ready to go as soon as the tests were over...After all, it had been about 14 hours since she had anything to eat....which may be doable under normal circumstances...but don't try to tell a pregnant woman not to eat for that long unless theres a really good reason. After leaving the clinic we ate breakfast at Shari's the closest place that serves breakfast all day. Another interesting fact about this whole glucose test thing...some places let you eat or drink stuff other than glucola. Here are some of them:
- Pancakes with syrup
- Jellybeans
- 80z of apple juice
- 12oz Sprite
- 1/2 cup of Gingerale
There are other various breakfasty type items, but you get the point.
