Sitting here in the middle of my 3 hour glucose test

[hokiegirl82]

I've had my first 2 blood draws and have my 3rd in 40 minutes. I'm hungry because I had to fast but I'm surviving. The drink was definitely sweeter than the one I had for the one hour test but it wasn't absolutely horrible. They let me sit in a recliner in a private area between draws and I'm watching netflix to pass the time. Really hoping I pass this time but if I have GD I'm ready to take care of myself and baby in whatever way necessary.

Wow there is a girl getting blood drawn in the space next to me and she is having a panic attack about having blood drawn. I feel bad for her.

I hope this one goes well! And I feel bad for the lady next door to you.

I hope you pass! I scheduled my 3 hour for Tuesday, so I'll feel your pain.

You should have seen me when I had to get blood drawn the first time!  I was probably worse than lady next to you.  I still have to lay down for every one.

I hope you pass!!! Hopefully the girl next to you is doing better too!

Finished up about an hour ago and finally settled in at work (wish I could just go home for the rest of the day, but no such luck). The whole experience actually wasn't as bad as I thouht it would be - netflix certainly helped. Happily eating a bagel right now, and getting some water in me - feeling dehydrated.

It took them 5 tries and over an hour to draw that girl's blood. I was a little sad to give up my little space with the recliner so she could lay down, but she seemed to need that little room far more than I did.

Good luck! I really hope you pass.

Good luck! When will you find out the results?

Good luck! I feel bad for the other girl, that sounds awful.

Probably Monday or Tuesday. I kinda don't want to know until then- would like a peaceful weekend to sleep on it.

Good luck!

I'm SO thankful that I'm the type of person who can handle needles and blood draws. I've seen people with serious aversions to it, and they always look so miserable.

Good luck - fingers crossed for good results!
