ETTM: weird moment i had yesterday

so i didn't eat dinner yesterday, because i went straight to work.. but i ate right before i left my day job..

so about 3 hours into my shift, all of the sudden, my eyes were kinda fuzzy, my hearing felt muted, i got clamy, and felt dizzy.. I didn't want to say anything so i tried to breathe it off.. luckily they were like, oh, take a break! we forgot! :)

i ran back and got some sprite and felt better..

was my blood sugar too low?

  • Were you hungry?

    I've had that happen a few times to me now that I'm pregnant, so I always make sure I keep a bag of nuts handy or something that will give me some protein.

    Oh I am horrified by the stories I hear from my girlfriends!  I would ask for more details (esp. around labor) but I'm pretty sure I'm better off not knowing.  Smile  Otherwise I'd probably try to talk DH into a surrogate or adoption (but we will likely adopt anyway, as I have always been a fan of adoption).

  • It was most likely to having really low blood sugar. I can get bad dizzy spells and other odd assorted symptoms from low blood sugar (or being dehydrated). I try to keep a little snack bag or mini-lidded plastic container with nuts in it all the time. Costco raw almonds, or TJ mixes.

  • I get this a lot.  I have hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and I also get migraines which are triggered by not eating (and a million other things).  I get dizzy, naseous/hungry, really hot (sometimes really cold), horrible headaches, senstive to light/noise, cranky/hangry, etc.  Sometimes it feels like I will faint if I don't eat something or lay down immediately.

    Make sure you at least have a granola bar or something to eat on your way to your second job.

    ETA: This freaks me out about being pregnant, BTW.  I'm terrified I'm going to be sick the whole time.  : (

    Try not focus on the things that could be. You don't know what it actually will be if you were to get pregnant.

    One of the best things you can do while pregnant is never let yourself get hungry or get thirsty.

  • Could have been a few things: drop in blood pressure, hypoglycemic attack, dehydration, or a combo of all three. Sounds to me like it was a hypoglycemic thing - you may want to pack yourself a lunch/dinner type thing if you're going to work that much, and carry a giant bottle of water with you so you stay hydrated. :)
