Has anyone fainted during glucose test and everything has been alright with the baby? I had healthcare assistants around me. Im just really paranoid. Im still feeling movements so thats a good sign. No pains. Little bit of a tender back as i landed on my back from what i can tell. Thank you

Everything will be ok, you clearly was in the best place with the best people!

As long as theres no pain, bleeding and theres movements i think baby will be absolutely fine!

I didn't quite faint, but I felt terrible about an hour in and went to the desk and immediately had to sit on the floor otherwise I would have fainted. They got a wheelchair and put me on a bed for an hour. I'm pregnant again with my 2nd and have an early test in a few weeks and dreading it, so my mother in law is coming with me

Sorry for the late reply busy family life 🤦‍♀️ I always dread them too as ive had to have them on all of them. Ive only ever felt a little weak having them as im hungry so this was the first for fainting during one. Was scary. Do you have it at 16 weeks?

I had one at about 14 weeks this time, results came back ok, but I drank a lot of water during the test as they also wanted a urine sample for something else, so my midwife has told me to get another one about 22 weeks ish. I felt ok in the test this time, but awful when I got home

The first time I took the test I felt absolutely terrible. I almost fainted and threw up. With this pregnancy, my midwife let me use "The Fresh Test". I found out about it because a friend of mine in the states used it and said it made it her experience so much better. I tried it and she was right... it was amazing and didn't make me feel near as sick as the other one! I recommend looking into it!
