molly ! look after yourself xxxx that must of been so scary

Oh Molly, I can only tell of my own personal experience in such matters, but I'm no doctor! I have always been a skinny thing with a whizzy whizzy metabolism, and when pregnant with LO I was diagnosed with GD (gestational diabetes) around the 4 month mark, and I controlled it with diet alone but one of the things I had pre diagnosis was tingly mouth followed by fainting, due to rapid drops in blood sugar (hypoglycemie is technical term (in French at least!) and my hypos came after my hypers, ie hyperglycemie-too much sugar!) But it wouldn't be so early on if you were pregnant, as I say around 4 months it usually strikes once the placenta is well established and stops insulin functioning properly (fortunately my GD's left as soon as I gave birth!) But I did learn a huge amount from all the diabetes and nutrition workshops I went to for the 2nd and 3rd tri,and that tingly lips and fainting is usually a result of low blood sugar, ie not enough to eat in the day and too much activity/stress. Beyond that I couldn't say, it could be iron, hormones etc, but I've often fainted and for me it's because my metabolism consumes sugar very quickly in normal life, although in pregnancy 2nd tri refuses to consume it at all!

Holly- I thought about blood sugar as well. I was diagnosed in school as having hypoglycemia but it's always been diet managed and I'm fairly conscious of it (since I've had it so long). It's odd how involuntary this spell was, how out of control. When I am having a blood sugar spell, I'm still mentally in control enough to hurry to the cabinets. Which is also why I chose to eat something just now.... just in case. This time it all felt different. It's happening again... another spell. I feel a bit panicky. I suppose I should give my oldest a review on how to call the authorities if something were to happen to me. Going to step outside for a moment.

In any case Molly you'll get a blood test at your appointment Tuesday and I know all will be fine.

Poo that I live half the globe away or I'd come and make you a proper sweet English tea with milk!
It's never a bad idea that the kids know what to do in an emergency (we've got all the numbers on the fridge!) but I don't think you need worry to that point. Let us know when you've had some air. But you felt sick yesterday, maybe you should tuck yourself up in bed?

 

[Mollykins]

Thanks Holly.

 

[Mollykins]

Oh Holly that sounds amazing! Most people in the states do not drink their tea with milk. (My OH still looks at me a bit odd sometimes. ) My uncle was from "over the pond" and a year before he died he finally switched my aunt to tea, instead of coffee. Sweet man he was.

Oh poor Molly...if it's not one thing it's another right now for you sweetie I declare you need a holiday and plenty of time to relax with LO's and OH......and if I was you I'd absolutely be longing for OH to come home and give me some TLC It sounds very much like blood sugars doing odd things. I think it is a good idea for the LO's to know what to do should you faint....I'm sure you won't but even if you weren't feeling this way I'd still think it was a good idea

Take care m'dear and take it easy x

Holly, Molly and other hens who are waiting to O, I think you have been patient enough , so you deserve a little treat .

Those funny little flashing things are called blinkies and probably best website is https://www.freebabydust.com/?p=8
You need do copy blinkie and paste it in your computer (has to be saved as .gif file, so I've saved it in My pictures on my computer).
Then you go on https://tinypic.com/ browse the file from wherever you saved it and click Upload now.
When you see codes, choose one begining with .....
All you need to do now is copy the [IMG] code to your signature.

It all sounds a bit complicated but it's not.

Of course I believe in you all.....as far as I'm concerned, it's just a matter of time

Pregnant life is fine at the mo' thanks Yes, I do work full time but sometimes from home when I'm not travelling, so I jump between work laptop and own laptop I have been lucky so far not to have any sickness but it's early days yet! I have been to the doctor who has referred me for an early scan on Tuesday. Hopefully I will then set up my midwife appointment.

Congrats on the 100th post and keep keeping us posted x
