It's all about how your body handles your daily diet. Unless for the rest of your pregnancy you want to eat hard boiled eggs every morning :P You want an accurate result; there's no sense in trying to "trick" the test by altering your daily routine. If you are a carby-eater that's fine; you need to know how your body is handling those carbs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-eat-before-gd-test-in-the-morning#post-2737880 Fri, 19 May 2017 14:40:47 +0000 MrsF 2737880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always just had eggs for breakfast and then brought some fruit to have right after the test because the sugar crash makes me feel pretty terrible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-eat-before-gd-test-in-the-morning#post-2737116 Wed, 17 May 2017 13:58:11 +0000 winniebee 2737116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Doc told me protein is usually good. So, I had whole grain toast with PB. It was fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-eat-before-gd-test-in-the-morning#post-2737097 Wed, 17 May 2017 13:36:21 +0000 Mrs. Cereal 2737097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always read that eating protein, like eggs, cheese, etc the night before would help to give you accurate results. As a person who had GD with my last pregnancy, and I was really upset at first, I am sort of glad that I didn't try to "trick" the test because in the end, the diet and all the extra precautions were in the best interest of my baby and myself. But I totally get the fear of failing and what that means. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-eat-before-gd-test-in-the-morning#post-2737095 Wed, 17 May 2017 13:34:02 +0000 youboots 2737095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cottage cheese </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-eat-before-gd-test-in-the-morning#post-2737092 Wed, 17 May 2017 13:27:42 +0000 peachykeen 2737092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have mine on Friday! With DD1, I did eat some carbs combined with protein and passed with no problem. With this baby, I've been told (not specifically by my OB) that eggs are a good choice so I'm going to try to get up early enough to scramble some with a little sausage.</p> <p>The other thing is with my appointments being so early, I'm also planning to be careful and not eat a lot of sweets the night before (so not cooking pasta or eating one of the cupcakes I baked last night, haha).</p> <p>I know they say it doesn't matter too much what you eat because your body will do what it wants, but at least this way if I fail I'll know that I really failed and not blame my previous meals! </p> <p>Good luck tomorrow! :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-eat-before-gd-test-in-the-morning#post-2737091 Wed, 17 May 2017 13:24:14 +0000 Anagram 2737091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eh, both pregnancies I had a late appointment for the 1 hour test (like 6 pm), so I had a snack at about 4 pm of cereal and milk. So.....kinda high in sugar. And I passed both times.</p> <p>I think it's best to just eat what you normally eat and see those results--if you eat eggs every morning for breakfast, then go ahead. If you eat a bagel, eat a bagel.</p> <p>The test is telling you how your body is reacting to your bagel. If you eat the bagel every day, eat it on the day of the test. (for example). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-eat-before-gd-test-in-the-morning#post-2737078 Wed, 17 May 2017 13:02:04 +0000 snowjewelz 2737078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you can eat before, PROTEIN for sure! Cheese, egg, meats! Ham and cheese omelette maybe? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-eat-before-gd-test-in-the-morning#post-2737070 Wed, 17 May 2017 12:35:39 +0000 gingerbebe 2737070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ask for the test to be absolutely first thing in the morning and I go in with an empty stomach. I've done the 1 and 3 hour tests 6 times.</p> <p>ETA: Go in armed with a cheese sandwich and orange juice to scarf the MINUTE the test is over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-eat-before-gd-test-in-the-morning#post-2737065 Wed, 17 May 2017 12:26:26 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2737065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hard boiled egg? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-eat-before-gd-test-in-the-morning#post-2737057 Wed, 17 May 2017 12:21:28 +0000 sunset840 2737057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the typical screening tomorrow with the dreaded orange drink and I'm wondering if anyone has any input on what, if anything I should eat before the appointment? My doctor advised against sugary and carb stuff so I'm aware of what to avoid. (hopefully) </p>
