The easier test takes an hour. You go in drink the fizzy drink. Then get your blood taken after one hour. If your reading comes back too high then you get sent for the 2 hour test. This happened in my first pregnancy, but was all good and I have never had it.

This time due to my high BMI p(pleasant way of saying as I am overweight!) they have automatically ordered the 2 hour test. I reckon I will be knocking on the door at 8.40am. I know for sure I will be definitely shouting myself a special lunch that day!!
