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’m 21 weeks and will start 22 on wednesday. Had my prenatal yesterday where I was checked to see if there had been anymore dilation. I’m still at 1 1/2 cm and since this is our second child the nurse/midwife says this is normal, my cervix is still 4 in thick so she’s happy about that. The issue is the braxton hicks! I finally let go of the anxiety I had a few weeks ago when the fill-in OB/Gyn freaked me out.
She wanted me to watch them and make sure to call if more than 4 an hour. However then I learned that really nothing to worry about unless coupled with some other danger signs. This time though, my doc said yes to call if more than 4 an hour for a 2 hour period even with no other signs! Needing prayers so I don’t get the anxiety back and also to stop having them or so many. Anyone else in the same boat?

Please no horror stories lol given the nature of this request (on the brink of anxiety) that wouldn’t be best:) thanks

i am 38 weeks pregnant and have been house bound for 2 months now hardly go out or do anything , as i have had sciatica and now got spd . i am getting so depressed and want my baby asap . driving myself mad i think ? do u think im wrong in wanting my baby before due date , i no the hospital wont induce me but i feel so bad for wanting him now . should i speak to my midwife about how i feel ? just worried shel think im going mad or gettin prenatal depression ? maybe i am ?

So, here is my problem.. I’m always very anxious. And worried. And I always feel “sad”. Always. Its like it never goes away. I always feel like crying. Even when I’m out with friends and trying to take my mind off of everything. I just can’t get properly happy about everything. I love that I have my 2 year old son, I love my husband and being with him, and I love that we’re having baby boy #2.. And I’m happy about all of that.. But I don’t think I’m actually happy like I should be. I’m not saying that I don’t want my life anymore or anything like that. I don’t really know how to explain it.. I’m happy but at the same time I’m not. All I want to do is just sit.. and be alone.. and cry..

But I’m not sure if its me, like if its real. Or if its just because my husband is in Iraq, so I’m just constantly worried about him. He has been gone since September but I really don’t remember feeling like this the whole time he has been gone.. And its been over 4 months already.

I don’t feel as if I have a connection with my baby. I heard the heartbeat 3 weeks ago and it was the most beautiful thing I have ever heard. But I’m just not sure what’s wrong with me. Maybe it’s prenatal depression. I have no clue. I’m 24, great job, even though I’m not marrried I will be next year. So what’s my problem?
