A little nauseous, a little cloudy headed, a little upset stomach. Didn't feel better until I was able to eat dinner at night. (My test was early afternoon so I had eaten high protein for breakfast, snack and lunch) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-side-effects-after-the-glucose-test#post-2164628 Sat, 02 May 2015 02:12:45 +0000 Boogs 2164628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same reaction as you, so miserable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-side-effects-after-the-glucose-test#post-2164622 Sat, 02 May 2015 00:30:50 +0000 AprilFool 2164622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I fainted during the blood draw. The midwife gave me sh*t about it because I said I don't faint during blood tests. Maybe if she hadn't of been digging around to find the vein I wouldn't of fainted for the first time ever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-side-effects-after-the-glucose-test#post-2164604 Fri, 01 May 2015 22:56:43 +0000 Corduroy 2164604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With pregnancy #1 I was pretty strict paleo and the glucose test really made me feel sick after about 45 minutes. I went to the bathroom 3 times thinking I had to throw up but each time someone yelled at me "you have to start over another day if you vomit." I ended up doing calisthenics in the waiting room to try to feel better. I felt sick the rest of the day.</p> <p>Pregnancy #2 I haven't been eating as low sugar as #1 and it didn't bother me at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-side-effects-after-the-glucose-test#post-2164449 Fri, 01 May 2015 19:17:22 +0000 changingtides 2164449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not after the one hr but the 3hr was horrible. Felt sick, dizzy, tired most of that day </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-side-effects-after-the-glucose-test#post-2164432 Fri, 01 May 2015 18:21:09 +0000 FannyMae 2164432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes I passed out halfway through the test! I felt myself shaking and blacked out as the nurse got me onto a recliner in the test room. was horrible and I'm not looking forward to it again. I was a zombie the rest of the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-side-effects-after-the-glucose-test#post-2164305 Fri, 01 May 2015 15:21:07 +0000 MrsH 2164305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: yes! I had no symptoms with DD1 but with the one I took last month for this pregnancy I felt so out of it and sick feeling I ended up taking a 6 hour nap. :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-side-effects-after-the-glucose-test#post-2164249 Fri, 01 May 2015 14:39:49 +0000 ineebee 2164249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't experience any negative side effects after the one-hour test. The only difference I noticed was that the baby was more active than EVER later that night. Like, it was insane. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-side-effects-after-the-glucose-test#post-2164194 Fri, 01 May 2015 14:05:32 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2164194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most recently, I had a massive headache. I was also tested really early this pregnancy since I had GD with my son. </p> <p>Hope you start to feel better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-side-effects-after-the-glucose-test#post-2164179 Fri, 01 May 2015 14:00:44 +0000 simplyfelicity 2164179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I was honestly expecting to feel really sick based on others' experiences and didn't feel any different. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-side-effects-after-the-glucose-test#post-2164175 Fri, 01 May 2015 13:58:45 +0000 Mama Bird 2164175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hope you feel better! I was ok after the one-hour, but the three-hour hit me like a ton of bricks this time. The drink made me really nauseous, and I was dizzy and seeing spots for two days. Yuck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-side-effects-after-the-glucose-test#post-2164144 Fri, 01 May 2015 13:43:36 +0000 Tidybee 2164144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No but my doctor told me to make sure to eat a bland breakfast beforehand. I had a bowl of raisin bran and some toast and felt totally normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-side-effects-after-the-glucose-test#post-2164114 Fri, 01 May 2015 13:29:59 +0000 Maysprout 2164114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah. I had my mom come down when I had to do it for my second pregnancy. I could not get off the couch, sooo tired after the sugar crash. Food didn't help, just sleeping and letting it pass. I felt nauseous, dizzy and sooooooo tired. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-side-effects-after-the-glucose-test#post-2164112 Fri, 01 May 2015 13:29:44 +0000 MrsF 2164112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's exactly how I felt and I've heard other people say the same thing. I think your body probably produces (releases?) tons of insulin to counteract the crazy sugar and just bottoms out your blood sugar. With my second LO I brought a PB sandwich to eat immediately afterwards and it was so much better. I passed both times. </p> <p>I hope you feel better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-side-effects-after-the-glucose-test#post-2164109 Fri, 01 May 2015 13:27:29 +0000 lovehoneybee 2164109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: I had pretty much the same reaction. I felt terrible all day. And the same after the 3 hr, but worse, because I had to wait so long to eat :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-side-effects-after-the-glucose-test#post-2164098 Fri, 01 May 2015 13:23:01 +0000 autumnlove 2164098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I've never had any side effects from the glucola. Hope you feel better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-side-effects-after-the-glucose-test#post-2164097 Fri, 01 May 2015 13:21:39 +0000 mrsjyw 2164097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't with DS1. I took the 1 hour test this morning and was SOOO out of it. I had coffee before the test, but no food. Ate right after I got home. But all of a sudden came down with the worst headache, nausea, and chills.</p> <p>It's passed for the most part now, but I'm really exhausted despite having slept well last night! </p>
