Another Dr.'s appointment.  My Dr. had an emergency so I waited for an hour and a half before seeing her. I'm really appreciating a good book to read with all this waiting!  Normal appointment....pee in a cup, step on the scale (136), take my blood pressure (it was a little high, need to cut back on my salt cravings!) and hear Baby Z's heartbeat.

I had to drink it there, but I think cold is better.

They gave it to me and I have to drink it an hour before the appointment. But I have a fridge at work I can keep it in. I'll go with cold.

I had to drink it there as well, but it was cold, and it really wasn't that bad. Mine was orange, and it just tasted like really sweet orange soda.

I got orange too :-) I told John it was a really sugary drink and he said, "what's so bad about that?", lol.

definitely cold. the colder, the better. it kinda tastes like those little freezer pop things we used to have as kids...the kind that come in a plastic sleeve...after it's melted. the orange ones.

i don't know if your doc told you to fast beforehand or not...my doc said not to eat anything carby or sugary, but to go ahead and have something small and protein-rich so it wouldn't make me nauseous. i had one soft-boiled egg, and it did the trick nicely. it really wasn't bad at all.

Otter pops! I loved those things :-) I'm glad to hear it wasn't that bad. It's only 10oz so I think I can get it down. I just hope I pass so I don't have to do the 3 hour test! My Dr. didn't mention anything about fasting (think that's only for the 3 hour test?) but my appointment isn't until 12:45 so it would be hard to fast all day. I'll stick to a small, protein-rich meal right before. I'm going to call the office just to make sure...I don't want anything to screw up my test results!
