Glucose Testing

Today I had my 24 week check up. I also had to do the glucose testing today. This is where you drink a really orange tasting drink that has a lot of sugar. You have five minutes to drink this and than you have to sit for about one hour. When the hour is up they take your blood and test your levels. With my last two pregnancies I ended up having to take another glucose test which means drinking the orange drink again and having blood drawn on the hour for three hours. With my third pregnancy I flunked and was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. I sure hope I pass this test so I don't have to drink that stuff again. I really don't want to have gestational diabetes again.
