There’s nothing sweeter than seeing our patients (and their little ones!) again after delivery 💕
Our amazing ultrasound tech, Abigail, had the joy of meeting and cuddling the very baby she scanned throughout mom’s pregnancy! 🍼
Mom and baby are both doing great, and we’re so thankful to be part of their journey from the very beginning. 💖

🌸 Have you been told it’s time for your glucose tolerance test? 🌸

If your provider mentioned you’ll have this test at your next prenatal visit — here’s what to expect! 👇

✨ What it’s for:
The glucose tolerance test helps screen for gestational diabetes, a type of diabetes that can develop during pregnancy. During pregnancy, your body goes through many hormonal changes to support your growing baby. Some of those hormones — produced by the placenta — can make it harder for your body to use insulin properly.
🩸 Insulin is the hormone that helps move sugar (glucose) from your blood into your cells for energy. Testing for gestational diabetes is an important part of keeping both you and your baby healthy. 💕

✨ What to expect:
1️⃣ You will get a finger prick to see what your blood sugar starts at. You’ll then be asked to drink a sweet liquid (often orange or fruit-flavored).
2️⃣ After drinking it, you’ll wait one hour before having your blood sugar rechecked .
3️⃣ If your blood sugar is normal you are finished! If it is elevated, we will discuss a diabetic diet and further testing

✨ Tips for your visit:
Plan to stay for at least an hour after you finish the drink.
Bring a snack to eat after you’re finished — you’ll likely be hungry!

💗 Remember: This test is a normal part of routine prenatal care — and one more step toward a healthy pregnancy and baby!

📅 Have questions or want to know how to prepare? Send us a message or talk with your provider at your next visit
