today i have a doctors appointment. they are making me drink some gross drink so they can draw my blood and test for gestational diabetes. the appointment is at 3:30pm. i didn't get around to reading the instructions for the gross drink until i woke up this morning at 7:30am. come to find out i'm not supposed to eat or drink
8 hours before testing!!!!! wha???? this is pregnant women you're dealing with! is that a realistic expectation? you can do the math... if i had gotten up like 30 minutes earlier, i could have had some breakfast. it's going to be a LONG day. i should have made this appointment for like 9am. i don't have a problem not eating in my sleep :)

those drinks are gross. good luck
You actually don't even have to do a fasting blood sugar. Just tell them you don't want to and they will do a different test, which does the same thing. Next time you will know. Don't drink the gross drink and don't fast. Neither are fun when you are pregnant!
