dieting and pregnant

can those two words go together. i didn't think so, but apparently they can. here's a warning for those of you who will carry children one day. doctor's like to torture you.
at about 28 weeks you have to take a glucose test to check for gestational diabetes. it is a 1 hour test where you fast the night before, you go in they prick you with a needle check your blood sugar levels. then you have to drink an extremely sugar fruit drink which is disgusting, did i mention its a pint of drink and you have to drink it in 5 minutes. but don't worry you'll enjoy that because you'll be so thirsty from not having anything to eat or drink from the night before. then you sit in the waiting room for an hour and wait to be pricked again.
unfortunately for me my sugar levels came back high so i was fortunate enough to have to take the 3 hour test. heres the rundown on that morning of torture.

12 midnight- no more to eat or drink until the test is completed. (this includes water)
8:30 am- scheduled appointment
8:45 am- still waiting outside for someone to open the lab
10 am- i FINALLY see a nurse who draws a tube of blood from my left arm. then she gives me the drink, which is gone in about 30 seconds, and to the waiting room for an hour.
11 am- the nurse draws another tube of blood from my left arm and to the waiting room for another hour.
12 pm- the nurse calls me back to draw another tube of blood from the same arm. ( my arm is a little sore about now), and back to the waiting room for another hour.
1 pm.- i have my last tube of blood drawn thankfully from my other arm.
1:30 pm- i eat something for the first time since midnight the night before.(thank you Justin for the whole shrimp poboy, bag of chips and 3 glasses of water.)

anyone see a problem with this:
problem 1: this may not sound like much but to have someone stick your arm with a needle 4 times and draw 4 tubes of blood all within a 5 hour period, its not pleasant.
problem 2: its hard enough to wait 13 hours and not eat or drink anything when your not pregnant, try it when your 61/2 months pregnant.
problem 3: i was at the hospital for 5 hours in the waiting room.
problem 4: all of this happened because some hospital worker wasn't responsible enough to open the lab and have printer paper there to check people in.

lets just say i've never been so bored, mad, and physically weakened all at the same time.

Problem 5: for the rest of my pregnancy i am on a sugar free, low carb diet. (thank God i only have 9 weeks left.)
