-- With my 1st pregnancy after many doctors trying to get me to do this I finally found a midwife who doesnt even do the glucose screen where you had to drink that stuff, A simple finger stick and a glucose monitor was used. I dont understand why they make you drink it at all. with my second I refused the test with a new doctor.
