My least favorite part of pregnancy.

[lindsaymg]

The glucose test. I almost threw up and had to start over.

[Kit]

Ugh, good luck! Mine is June 11. They gave me the bottle of juice ahead of time so I could drink it at home.

[ellipsis]

Ugh I am sorry. Those last few sips are the worst! FX that you pass!

[Muddled]

Not looking forward to this. I hope you pass!

Same here. I poured it over ice and just chugged.

Oh, ice - good call! I need to remember to do that. A crummy drink is always better on ice vs. warm.

Not looking forward to it!

For perspective I keep reminding myself of all the CT scans my mom has to do for her cancer treatment.  Basically every 6 weeks, and she's been doing it for 5 years.  Not only are the barium drinks gross-flavored, but she says the barium weighs like a barbell in her stomach.  She and I co-bitch a lot about various abdominal discomforts now that I'm pregnant; a lot of my bitches are surprisingly similar to hers.  I try to be really cognizant of where the line is that I not cross by bitching too much though!  

FWIW, she totally endorses the ice strategy.

Good luck!

I have mine on June 2nd. Is it really that awful tasting?

[aprilsails]

I have mine coming up on the 4th. I'm glad you managed to hold it down lindsaymg. Fingers crossed that you also passed!

[meltoine]

One of my favorite things about my MW is that she does the GTT with real food instead of the drink. I get to eat oatmeal, toast with jelly, and a glass of OJ for my GTT.

I just did it yesterday. Mine was lemon-lime. Supposedly. It wasn't that awful, but it didn't taste good either. I'm really hoping I pass so I don't have to do it again for the 3 hour, but I will say that it wasn't as bad as I was expecting.

[liverandonions]

I'm doing mine today for the 2nd time (had to do it around 14 weeks as well) it doesn't bother me that much. I guess I'm weird. I get the lemon-lime and think it tastes like sugary sprite.

[achi]

Ugh, I'm sorry. They really need to chill that shit.

Good luck!

The drink wasn't my favorite but it was in no way a big deal. I just chugged it down. Just don't want all the people who haven't done it to stress about it!

I love you.

Chugging generally doesn't end up very well for me. I'm definitely not looking forward to this

I didn't think it was bad. Like really sweet tang.

I much prefer the orange drink to the lemon-lime.  The orange drink tastes like flat McDonald's orange drink.  The lemon-lime one at first blush was like "oh Sprite" but then got way too sweet too fast and became very difficult to drink.

[starburst]

I didn't think it was too bad. Mine was chilled and tasted like flat, extra sweet orange soda.

I did get scolded for standing up and stretching during the waiting time. Apparently I was supposed to sit and not move a muscle the entire time. Whoops.

[Susie]

I'm hoping extensive experience with disgusting endurance sports drinks has well prepared me for this. Warm lemon lime Heed on the 2nd bike loop of a half ironman better prepare me for something in life!

[preppy]

Ughhh I have mine June 15 and I am dreading it. Mine is chilling in my fridge waiting for me:(

[achi]

I found the orange crap not terrible on the taste scale, just like really sweet McD's orange drink. My doula said to definitely avoid the cherry, which apparently just comes right back up.

Fine is fruit punch. I wonder if it has the same issues as cherry:(

I had fruit punch. It was like a sugary Gatorade. I don't think it's as bad some make it out to be. Just get some greasy fast food after as a treat

[qubit]

Haha! I thought the drink was tasty. Sorry it's so rough for you, though.

[madringal]

I am always so jealous when people say they get to eat jelly beans or snickers bar. I hate that test. I always get so close to passing out.

I don't think they do fruit punch in my area, have never heard of anyone here having to drink it. However, I have heard other ladies on here say it's not the worst.

[ellipsis]

I didn't think it was really that bad until the very end. Even the first couple of sips I was like "oh this isn't that bad".

[georgie]

I had to do a 2 hr when my doctor was running a bunch of tests following my pcos diagnosis. The place kept it in the fridge and the stuff wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be and I had no issues with the test. I'm praying it goes as well now that I'm pregnant as it did the first time.

[kellsbelles]

The drink was nbd I totally psyched myself out for nothing. I also had to do the 3 hour one which is double the sweetness of that and I was fine w that too. That being said I would not reach for that with my chicken sandwich and fries ever!
