So I went in for my latest doctor's appointment last Thursday to do my scheduled test for Gestational Diabetes. This is standard procedure and they request that you eat or drink nothing with sugar in it before the blood draw...soooo, I got up in the morning, ate one piece of bacon, one piece of toast and one egg. I usually have my snack around 10am but I had to go in at 10am to drink this AWFUL sugar filled drink that has to sit in your system 1 hour before they draw your blood, and once you drink it you cannot eat anything until then...so when I came back an hour later, I was feeling shaky and ready to eat...but I had to have my blood drawn first. They sit me in the chair and begin the painstaking process of finding a vein (after two pokes usually they find one)...so normally I have NO problem AFTER they poke me looking at the blood coming out into the tube...except for this time! I looked at it and became VERY woozy and almost passed out...I thought I was going to throw up or something. The nurses got me some water and a cold wash cloth for my head and some animal crackers to snack on. After about 5 minutes, I was all better. I have never been that close to passing out in my life...it was kind of scary. The doctor said it was b/c I had all that sugar in my system from that drink...I was just glad it was over so I could go and eat something substantial! :-) I won't find out about the results for a bit, but I am sure I do not have it.
Oh and I also start going to the doctor every two weeks now...it's getting closer to Decovin time! :-)
