What is the latest stage of pregnancy you can have your blood glucose test?

Im 29 weeks pregnant and was supposed to have my routine 28 week blood glucose test, but i was throwing up and couldn’t keep down the sugary drink that’s needed for the test. I’ve had severe nausea and vomiting my entire pregnancy. What if this keeps happening and i don’t get the test? How long can i leave it without the results being affected. Is there any other way of testing for it without my needing to drink that disgusting sugar water?

I have heard of people not being able to keep the drink down. but if it keep happening they will alter the test to you eating something that has the same sugar content as the drink (i.e. x amount of jelly beans) either way if they don’t already detect sugar in your urine and if your baby is measuring right on track then they may not be too worried about it for a couple more weeks.
They check it at each visit to your doctor or clinic. No need to stress. When you’re on your last week they do it as well. No need to panic
You can monitor your BGL’s using a BGM several times a day. If you are presenting all of the symptoms of gestational diabetes, your OB would know and go from there.
