Good job downing the glucose😂😂 So glad you knew about your mom and sister failing the 1 hour test. Good luck on next test. You have a great attitude, this is just another step to achieving your goal of a healthy baby girl. Hey Q, you’re training your mom for when the baby is here. Mom’s never get to be on the phone without someone interrupting them. Glad Gray is doing well.

My daughter just had a baby in September. She failed her first glucose test, but passed the 3 hour no problem. Good luck to you! Also, when I was doing the glucose tests, my OB let me due a diet version. Much, much better. That drink is gross!

[@SamanthaL]

I didn't know there was another version. It is definitely gross!

[@lindacraig5056]

I hope your blood test goes well today. Take care

[@SamanthaL]

It was a couple weeks ago, but thank you

[@somersetflower]

Next time in a glass with a straw and ice and an umbrella - pretend cocktail !🍹 Looking good - you are so positive made me laugh - "this could be so much worse" ha ha ha....🤣🤣🤣 You did great . How did the bump react to the cocktail? 🧚‍♀️ Love to Gray. Jan 🧓🇬🇧x Q feeling left out already.

[@SamanthaL]

A lot of people say they like it better with ice! I just didn’t want to go through that effort haha

[@jeanniecalello1227]

Wow so many questions about this sugar test and gestationial diabetes. . I'll just Google them. you look so great!!.. Is it 6 months sun and 6 months dark where you are?? .. hope all goes well. Hi kitty💕🙏🙏

[@leaveittolefty]

i had a friend at work who had gestational diabetes. we always ate lunch together and i felt sorry she had to test stick her fingers, so i did it with her. we were research scientists at a major cancer hospital -- data was our thang lol. we noticed that when we ate an apple after lunch, our blood glucose levels were lower. she didn't have any risk factors either and controlled it with diet. her bg levels returned to normal after pregnancy

[@valentinacardona173]

Aw you're so sweet doing that for your friend

That is super nice of you! I’m glad it ended up working out

[@leaveittolefty]

use a straw for icky stuff like that and contrast too ;)

[@sherryann3577]

I'm 29 weeks pregnant & test positive for gestational diabetes

[@valentinacardona173]

My sister is 7 months pregnant and has been diagnosed with gestational diabetes . She's in a special diet now , no sugars at all and takes her blood glucose 3 times a day

[@SamanthaL]

Hope her and her baby are doing ok!

[@beckymellon8135]

I always flunked mine😵‍💫🤞🤞good luck❤️

[@SamanthaL]

It's apparently pretty common

[@rene3840]

I hate saying pass or fail because it’s nothing that we do to pass or fail! But i “ failed” my 1 hour test and “passed” my 2 hour test. The 1 hour test wasn’t bad. The 2 hour test (75g sugar) i had a hard time with. I felt faint and had to lay down.

[@cherylcampbell7495]

They had to use heat to get blood out of my sis. I drank something pink when I was 17 and they found out I have hypoglycemia. 1964..getting up there in age. I just watch what I eat. Never had this test in 1974 when I was pregnant. Something new? Looking good lady👍🙏💕🇺🇸

[@SamanthaL]

Not super new because my mom had it with her pregnancies, but I don't know when it started

[@shortfilmteaz]

Fr I have to do it and I’ve never heard of it I’m confused can I decline?

[@sydsyd5841]

I failed, but I had hyperemesis gravidarum (extreme nausea the whole pregnancy) with my pregnancy. And then I failed the 3 hour as well. Doctor just had me check my sugars for a few weeks.

[@SamanthaL]

So sorry you had to deal with HG :/

[@juststuff9945]

Hi. Hope the three hour test results were okay! Curious, what is Q’s full name? What breed is he? He is so pretty. How did you get him to settle into the long hours in the car when you drove to Alaska?

[@SamanthaL]

Thanks! Q’s name is actually Coconut. It kinda went from Coconut to CooCoonut to CooCoo to Q. And she also responds to Q when we call her or talk about her so it stuck! She hated the car at first on the way to Alaska but eventually got used to it. It helped her to be able to get out of her crate and move around the car freely. We tried to get some medicine for her to help with anxiety/nausea but she refused to take any of it

[@reginahaley3723]

@@SamanthaL I think your beautiful Q was trying to tell you something very important!!💜😺

Lumos was unphased by Q’s meows.

Good for him. Living his best life

[@dianemiller6440]

How do you like living in Alaska?

[@SamanthaL]

We love it!

[@cindyscharr457]

Did you have your port removed since you were a cancer patient? Why couldn't they take your blood through that? During your cancer treatment you must have had many blood tests that checked every darn thing including glucose levels on a regular bases. All of my blood work was drawn through my port. Not all technicians are trained to use it. If they aren't trained they use a vein. I hope that you are feeling well. Our body is unique. It always make me wonder how they know how fast that sugar water gets into your blood compared to someone else. Boy I bet your baby will be kicking up a storm because of that drink.

[@SamanthaL]

Yep I had my port removed during surgery after chemo a little over 3 years ago!

[@commonsense6967]

Back in the day, the OB's office made us do the glucose test after drinking a Coca-cola, lol!

[@SamanthaL]

Lol did you also have to drink it within 5 minutes?

[@commonsense6967]

@@SamanthaL Well, it was 1988, and all I can remember is that I had to drink the Coke in his office, then wait an hour before his lab nurse drew my blood. But you having to chug that drink so quickly reminded me of the huge quantities of nasty colonoscopy prep I had to drink within 15 minutes or maybe half hour. Made me gag! Good luck with the 3 hour test. I don't think I had to even take a glucose test with my first two babies, seems like they just ran blood tests, instead.

[@veredben-avraham6598]

Sugar pops your veins, which is why your nurse got it on the first stick

[@SamanthaL]

I didn't know that, but will keep that in mind for future appointments!

[@veredben-avraham6598]

@@SamanthaL muscle guys like Arnold Schwarrzenegger will stop eating sugar before a contest than like a week or a few days before will eat a ton of sugar. This pops their veins and supposedly makes them look better. Not my thing but I read about it once. Don't know if it still being done

[@callyflower]

50 grams of sugar is just a little bit more than a can of soda. Not really a huge deal.

[@SamanthaL]

Yeah I guess. I don’t really drink soda much

[@totallyolivers]

The glucose test sucks...so gross. Made me want to vomit.

[@SamanthaL]

Definitely! And the 3 hour one is like 10 times worse :/
