Had to go to hospital yesterday for the Glucoses Tolerance Test as I had a dodgy glucose blood result last week. I was told the results would be back at 10 this morning the latest, possibly even yesterday afternoon and that they would phone me if they came back as positive for GD. They also said, since they didn't know when they would get around to calling, I could call to check my result as obviously it's a very worrying time.

Well, I just called. Firstly, the midwife was rude, saying "You don't need to phone. We'll phone if there's a problem." And then she said they didn't have any results yet. They would be there maybe in the late afternoon, maybe tomorrow.

I'm really upset and angry. It's not some standard blood-type test or something. This whole thing has been stressing me out no end and now I'm still none the wiser. I feel let down. Rant over!

Can you call your own midwife? She may be able to chase them up at the office for you.

I don't have a midwife with a number. It's all just the same triage number.

I'm not sure if the rude midwife today was talking rubbish as I was assured by 5 other people on different occasions the results would be there yesterday afternoon or 10 this morning the latest. She didn't even ask my name, so how could she tell there were no results????

I guess, the good news is, there has been no phone call so far and I was told yesterday "If no call by 4pm, you're fine."

It's just rubbish cause I'm sitting here stressing about what I should eat etc.

Just to say. My results were back YESTERDAY and the midwife this morning was talking rubbish. The midwife on the phone just now was very annoyed, they left me in the lurge for 24 hours. My results were fine...
