Well today was a very long day. I left the house at 7:15 and arrived at the doctors office at 7:35, waiting for them to open the doors. The doors opened at 7:45, I checked in, sat down and waiting for them to call me. A few minutes later, I was called and the nurse took my first tube of blood. I was then showed the lobby that I would be sitting in for the next 3 1/2 hours. I looked at those uncomfortable lobby chairs and dreaded the next few hours but I had no choice. I sat down and about 30 minutes later, they called me to drink that wonderful tasting drink (kidding) again. I was then sent to the lobby again. The nurse then took a tube of blood at 9:35, 10:35 and 11:35. I was sitting in the lobby starving and starting to get a headache, not sure if it was from the sugar or not eating. As soon as the test was over, I stopped to get something to eat.
I called the doctors office about 3:30 or so to find out the wonderful news, I passed. I do not have gestational diabetes. It has been a long 24 hours.....6 tubes of blood taken out of my left arm, 2 not so great drinks, and stress that I may have gestational diabetes. In the end, I was so glad to know that I do not have gestational diabetes.
