It's done with the third trimester bloods, so probably by week 34. Tip: don't drink water before you go, that way you'll be a little bit thirsty and the drink won't be so sickly

She should, if you see her before 28 weeks and know that you won't see your MW until after then. Then just ask the BU when you see her for the forms and you'll do it then.

I had mine at 28 weeks and the drink wasn't bad but it made me awfully sick. I spewed on the medlab lady when she stuck the needle in. Oops..

The 2 hours one wouldnt have been so bad if it had only taken 2 hours  I was there 3 1/4 and by the end I burst into tears when they tried to get the last needle in. AND that was with an appointment. Hope you dont have to go to Soutern community labs lisha and if you do, give the one on Durham St a miss!
