Anti D & the glucouse one if you or in the family have got diabetes (it is the starvation blood test). Not looking forward to starving myself TBH.

I had the glucose test at 12 weeks when did my booking bloods, it was fine, I had mine at 8.30am in morning so by the time I cud eat was bout the time I eat my breakfast already.

I stupidly said can I have the last app of the morning at 11.30 then changed my mind to 8.30. I would have been like a headless chicken by the time I had the test as you have to wait to wait an hour after you have the drink dont you.

yeh at first I said I wud go later as cudnt b botherd to get up earlly but then i actually thought about it and realised I wud b eating at like 2ish so went as early as I cud, you have the drink then wait two hours then have blood test then u can go. the drink isn't really the nicest thing to have first thing in the morning but just hold ur nose and down it lol
