We are providing you with a lab requisition for blood work to be drawn at 28 weeks gestation.

This is a screening test for gestational diabetes and anemia. You may get the blood work drawn before the day of your next appointment or on the day of your next appointment.

We are obtaining results for a CBC, 1 hour Glucose test, and if your blood type is negative, we will draw an antibody screen and you will receive the Rhogam injection.

The 1 hour Glucose test is not a fasting blood draw, but you should decrease your simple sugar and carbohydrate intake prior to the test. If you will be doing your blood work the day of your appointment, you could stop by the lab to get the Glucola and drink it before you come up for your appointment.

You would then go back down to the lab after your appointment to get your blood drawn 1 hour after you have finished the drink.
