`Glucose Test @ Week 28

Finally we came to week 28, starting of my 3rd and final trimester!
Glad that I can see Rhea again but worried as I am supposed to take the horrible glucose test on that day. I can still remember the last time I took this test when having Rhys... the horrible super sweet drink which makes me giddy and nausea. Yucks!

Procedure is that I am supposed to fast from drinks and food from 12am midnight before that then 9.30am, draw a tube of blood before drinking the sweet sweet drink. Then come back again after 1 hr to draw the second tube of blood to test my blood sugar level and another 1 hr later, the last tube of blood to check if my body is handling the sugar well. If the blood test came out failed, I will need to watch my diet very strictly and got to prick my finger 7 times a day to test my blood sugar... if not good after monitoring, might even need to inject insulin like those diabetic patient!
The thot of that really freaks me out. I am already stuck at home with limited food to eat and if i fail the test, what else can I eat?? gosh... really shiver even at the thot of that...
Worse hor, I got to eat so much chocolate cakes on my birthday (few days before the test) and DURIAN! aiyo... very dangerous... scary...

And sadly, hubby got to work so I got to do this test alone...

Luckily, doc scanned Rhea first so I got to be happy before the test...
Rhea is growing well... 1.367kg @ week 28. (I just realised after checking Rhys' blog that Rhys was only 1.2kg @ week 28... omg! Rhea is even bigger!!)
The scan was fast and the happiest thing is that Rhea has turned head down! Was still quite worried when the last scan shows her still heads up... if breech hor, cannot go natural birth leh... so hopefully Rhea stays heads down from now on...


Then finally came the test... aiyo... I can take the drawing of blood but this time, the sweet drink is a mineral water BOTTLE!! got to gulp down 2 cups (whole bottle!) at one shot... gassy somemore. Taste more like ice-cream soda but sweetened 10 times more... YUCKS!
After drinking, feel like vomitting so doc told me not to move so much coz some ppl will vomit them out... AND... got to drink them all over again!!!
I got scared and just sit there outside for a while before heading back home.

1 hr later, went back for drawing my 2nd tube of blood... and becoz of some waiting here and there, I only need to wait for ard 40mins before I got to report again for last round. Decided to go mum's place since it is closer and managed to sort out some baby clothes with mum during that period.

Went for the last round, took meds, mc and finally can eat after so long. Took lunch together with mum at kopitiam before going to Prime to get some grocery. Not everytime I can shop lor, so might as well... haha....

Now all I can do is to pray that my test dun fail.... doc say will take ard 2 days for results to be out and she will call me... Pls dun fail... pls dun fail...
