I just took mine 2 days ago and it was my 1st time. Never had to do the test with my previous pregnancies cos it's compulsory now. So 1st they'll take your 1st tube of blood. Then you'll be given the drink. Taste super, super sweet! Like F&N Orange w/o gas. I was given mine ice cold which I like. Had to drink it within 5 mins and I did. I didn't vomit, thankfully. Can drink sips of plain water only. 1 hr later, another blood withdrawn. And another tube an hr later. Can only eat after the last blood is taken. If they didn't call you on that day or the next that means your glucose is alright. They didn't call me.

Yes 3 tubes. I did feel a bit light headed so I drank sips of water & didn't move about often so I just waited outside the clinic and watch a movie.
