28 weeks

At my doctor's appointment this morning, I took a glucose tolerance test, which is typically given to pregnant women between their 24th and 28th weeks to test for gestational diabetes. I had to drink a bottle of Glucola, a glucose solution that just tasted like orange pop (or soda for you non-Midwesterners) within five minutes and then get my blood tested an hour later to see how the glucose solution was metabolized. Fortunately, I passed the test and do not have gestational diabetes. Other than some excessive burping afterward, it was a normal appointment and everything looks good.
