That would happen to me too, only it was the first half of my pregnancy more

then the later half. You should tell your doctor, but I can tell you if it's

low blood sugar and you hadnt eaten in several hours, your doctor will tell you

to have more " little meals " throughout the day, trying to get in protein first.

I had low blood sugar AND low blood pressure my entire pregnancy, and still

suffer, had my own little hypoglycemic episode late last night while I was

sitting here trying to catch up on emails.

Anyway, sorry you felt under the weather, and do make sure to let your doctor

know how you are feeling. Take care!

Question for the hypoglycemics in the group...

I *think* I had a low blood sugar incident yesterday ... wanted to compare

notes with others who might have suffered them. Does this sound like what

happens when you have low blood sugar?

I decided to take a nap. I woke up all sweaty and shaky ... almost like a

dumping episode but I knew it wasn't that since I hadn't eaten in several

hours. After 5-10 minutes of this I thought perhaps it was because I'd

hardly eaten all day so I quickly ate 2 pieces of American cheese and drank

about 4 oz of orange juice. The " episode " ended about 5 minutes after I

ate/drank. Is this something that I should call the doctor about? I fixed

it on my own but I'm still slightly freaked by what happened and I don't

know if it should be a cause for concern.

Thanks in advance,

EDD 5/13/03 - Its a GIRL!!!

Similar things happened to me pre-pregnancy, but I have had several

episodes of this since I became pregnant. I have found it only

happens when I go too long without eating (except for in the

morning). If this is the first time this has happened, I probably

wouldn't be too concerned. Feel free to contact your doctor if that

would ease your mind. It's more than likely just your body's way of

saying " FEED ME " .
