Last week, I took my second Glucose Test. This one didn't go as well as the first one I took during my first trimester. I was given orange, instead of lime, and had 5 minutes to drink, instead of 10. It really wasn't too bad until I had about 20 minutes left of waiting and I started to feel real hot and faint. I was sitting in a room all by myself wondering what was going on! Afraid to stand up in case I passed out so I inched my way to the door and asked the nurse if I could have some water. She immediately told another nurse to help me! Guess I looked as bad as I felt. The nurse came in to put a damp paper towel on my forehead and neck. I had to use the restroom so was wheel chaired in front of everyone! Not fun but thank goodness started feeling better by the time they needed to take my blood. I have been told that if you do not pass you have to do it again but wait 3 hrs vs the one. I have been praying that doesn't happen to me!
This morning I got the phone call I have been waiting for . . . you passed! So relieved however there was a but, she said my iron was low so need to take an iron supplement in addition to my prenatal vitamin.
