Three and a half years ago, I wrote about my "glucose challenge" when I was pregnant with Lia. And now that I'm preggers with Dumpling, I just went thru another glucose test! It happened last Saturday, 16th of June.
The process this time wasn't exactly the same as my first, though I still had to fast for 8-10 hours prior to the blood extraction. When I got to the lab at Asian Hospital, I was given this super cold glucose drink that I had to drink within 5 minutes while the nurse was watching. They say others can't stand how sweet this tastes, but to me, it was easy-peasy!👌 I think I finished it in less than a minute! Hehe. It just tasted like sweet samalamig without the gulaman, yuuum!
After the drink was finished, I had to wait for an hour before blood could be extracted from me. It's different from the last time when I waited for two hours and my blood was extracted two times. I wonder why. But that's the way it went this time.
A few hours after, the results came out, and woohoo, I passed! Pasang-awa though. I was a couple of hair strands away from flunking. What did my OB say? Diet-diet nang konti! 😒 Waaaah, this one's challenging!
So there you go! By the way, the test only costs P750 at Asian Hospital, just in case anyone might be interested. 🙂
