Hypoglycemia and 28 weeks Pregnant, Questions…?
Ok, I have a few questions, I have already talked to my OB and to the Labor RN and am getting really confused. I get these attacks that cause me to get really dizzy, see cloudy, get disoriented, sweaty and really shaky. Most times I can get my feet in the air before I pass out but I have passed out 3 times already. They are not sure what these attacks are. My Blood pressure is great, my iron and all blood work is great. I had my 1 hour glucose test done and never heard anything so I’m guessing they are alright. But I do take my Blood sugar and sometimes when I feel this way it’s 112 and other times is 58. So I’m guessing sometimes it’s my blood sugar. So they told me to eat up to 8 times a day. Well it’s not working. I ate a nutrigrain bar, 2 eggs and turkey sausage for breakfast and my Blood sugar was 60 an hour later. I’m starting to worry about this because I’m afraid to go anywhere ’cause I’m afraid I will pass out. I have a history of Panic and Anxiety so I don’t know if that’s what’s happening too. This all started at 20-21 weeks pregnant. I’m on no meds except prenatal vitamin. Can anyone help me out, and if this is normal than what the heck am I suppose to eat? Fruit and Juice all cause my blood sugar level to drop within an hour. Can hypoglycemia show up only from pregnancy? What’s the difference between Panic attacks and Hypoglycemia? Any help is appreciated. If this is hypoglycemia then how come after I eat something it takes like an hour to feel normal again? The Drs are all stumped. Thanks, God Bless

I am Hypoglycemic and it all started 9 years ago when I was pregnant with baby #1. It has stuck , unfortunately. I keep candy and gum in my purse at all times. Licorice really seems to do the trick. Now pregnant with #3, I have learned to control it. However, you may want to have your dr check you thyroid. I was feeling really weak and sweaty and then decided it was time to call my doc. Sure enough I had an over active thyroid. But that was also just before finding out that I was preggers with # 2. Pregnancy does wonderful things to your body and health. This pregnancy just for the record book is going GREAT. So far no problems. God has truely blessed me. Just remember, no matter how bad your pregnancy gets, youy have a precious gift from God growing inside. I promise you will never have regrets! God bless and congrats
