Direct guidance
What to know or do
Follow the exact instructions from the testing service, tell them if you vomit or cannot complete the drink and ask how and when results will be communicated. Do not change diet just to influence the test unless instructed.
What changes the answer
- Whether this is screening, diagnosis, monitoring, treatment or birth planning
- Pregnancy week, previous results and what the result could change
- Benefits, limits, alternatives, follow-up and the time available to decide

When to get individual help
Check the exact item or situation with a doctor, midwife, pharmacist or relevant clinician; the name of a broad category is not enough for a personal decision.
