Since then I have been sick and not feelin right. Woke up this morning not feelin any better is this normal?

[Mummy4]

Hi there I had my GTT around the same time as yours it was horrible drinking that warm disgusting Lucozide and just like you felt sluggish and nauseous. Good luck I am 19+1

[missklt in reply to Mummy4]

Ohh I didnt mind the lucozade I enjoyed it lol. I dnt no if ots coz I went so long without food that's done it. Xx

Hi! I never had a GTT but I've heard they can be nasty!!

Can you keep food down? Maybe have some mint tea to settle your stomach (if you like it) and habe some plain food such a toast.

If you are still not right after another day or 2 then I'd give your gp or midwife a call

[missklt in reply to Hidden]

It was the hardest thing iv done plus I hate blood tests I will try mint tea. Thank u x

[Mummy4 in reply to missklt]

I am surviving on Raw almonds and and pineapple

[missklt]

Is that workin for you? Strawberry milkshake seems to help me but it aint workin today

[Mummy4 in reply to missklt]

Yes it's brilliant because raw almonds are giving me the nutrition and vitamins that I am lacking as I feel nauseous a lot and can not stomach food and the pineapple is very refreshing and helps with indigestion

[missklt in reply to Mummy4]

Oh that's good x

I was lucky and never had nausea during pregnancy but always loved mint tea! Amazing after a tummy bug!! X

[missklt in reply to Hidden]

You was very lucky iv had sickness since I was 6 weeks x

[Mummy4 in reply to missklt]

Is this your first pregnancy?

[missklt in reply to Mummy4]

Yes it is x

[Mummy4]

In my case feeling sick starts around 6 weeks and stays till the baby is out.

[missklt in reply to Mummy4]

Iv been told if im sick all way through its a girl is that true?

[Mummy4 in reply to missklt]

I don't think that is very true maybe just another myth

[missklt in reply to Mummy4]

Thats what I was thinkin

[Hidden]

I had 2 gtt tests one at 14 weeks and one at 28 weeks. .they r not the most enjoyable things. I didnt feel great after mine but I actually think it was general pregnancy rather than the gtt test..I was sick for 9 months straight.

[missklt in reply to Hidden]

I am hopin I dont have to have another... its not a test I would like to repeat x

[missklt in reply to missklt]

Wouldn't like***

[Mummy4 in reply to missklt]

Why did they offer you the triple test?

[Mummy4]

Definitely not, they have never offered me the GTT in my previous pregnancies but my last bb was big so they thought maybe I had Gestational diabetes hopefully they won't repeat it again
