Well it didn't go as well as I had hoped. For starters who comes up with a test that makes a pregnant woman fast for 12 hours prior then for another 2 hours for the actual test!
So I got there about 10am. (I slept in, I supposed I could have got there earlier..) and hadn't eaten anything since the night before, and even then, not much becuase I wasn't actually feeling well yesterday, but that is another story....
Anyway so I get there and have the initial blood taken, the needle hurt going in and coming out. Then I had to drink that stuff, which I guess wasn't too back and I was really hungry anyway...It;s a bit like really sweet lemonade. But I am used to sweet things.
Then an hour later they call me in for another blood test, which also hurts. Then again an hour later, more pain. It was all in the same arm and in the same spot. I guess they didn't want to mess up both sides.
So as I am leaving, I am so hungry and faint from the not eating and having blood taken, I get into the car feeling like I was drunk, put the car in reverse instead of 1st and attempt to drive away...
Well I was that hungry I decided to go to maccas to get something quick. I got a big mac and an OJ and an apple pie.
I managed to get it down, but that lasted maybe an hour. It all came back up again as I was on my way home. Lucky I had a plastic bag in the car, it was soooo gross!
So now I am feeling not so great, I'm tired and uncomfortable and still feel nauseas.
ANyway just thought I would have a whinge about it
Good luck! I hope you hear some good results soon too.
