Five hours in the hospital

Mucho unhappiness.First, I didn't eat anything for 18 hours. I went to the hospital, where they took some blood. Then they waited an hour. Then they gave me some disgusting stuff to drink. Then they waited an hour. Then they took some more blood. Then they waited an hour. Blood. Hour. Blood. Hour. Then I was finally allowed to go home.

Hope it turns out OK, I should get the results back tomorrow.

Ugh. I'm guessing they're testing for gestational diabetes based on the nasty drink?

Keeping fingers and toes crossed for you and the wee one!

Hope you get good news. My experience with hospitals is rather similar, but I guess that is not surprising.

Keep us posted.

I was wondering why you were not posting
on Flickr. I can see why.
It sounds like a difficult period for you!
Sorry about that!!!
I hope you get well soon...

XOXOXOXO

Pamela blew off said test and our second was born 10 pounds 1 ounce. Yikes. I think the first time she threw up the nasty tasting stuff, which I suppose contributed to her skipping the test the second time. Such fun. Thinking good thoughts for you.

I just spent about 4 hours doing the same thing, if gestational diabetes is what you were being tested for. By the 4th hour I was ready to pass out! I hope it went well. My arms look horrible.

ugh

I hope things worked out ok. Did the blood work news result in the lack of new articles. Hopefully everything has worked out for the best.
