it's a simple test

fast overnight, go in and they take blood, then give you the uber disgusting drink, you have to sit about for 2hours...not really allowed to move about too much as exercising can alter the results, then you go back and they take more blood...it's that simple. i was told if all was fine then you don't get a call, if something is wrong they call you back in...i have to have one at 26weeks as my dad was diabetic

i had one with lily-ann (for some reason not with lewis though!) and the nurse was so incompetent that she forgot to put the bottle thing on the end and my blood was just squirting all over the floor Laughing

In Sussex they do a routine one at 28wks. You drink lucazade (just do this at home) then go get your blood taken an hour later at the hospital. If the results show you might have diabetes then you have to go back another day for the test that Kenty described. If the test is not routinely done and they're doing it cause there was glucose in your pee then it will probs be the test Kenty described
