Just had the most horrible feeling. My grandad came to collect some stuff and was chatting at the front door. I started feeling light headed and thought it would pass. Got worse and worse. I got a glass of water pretending my throat had a tickle but it got worse. Could see everything goin black. Told him I felt dizzy so sat on the stairs. He rushed off ha ha ( scared of anything) Feel a bit better now but it was horrible. Could hear whooshing in my ears. Has anybody else had this?
 
yes thats what I get ^ the whoosing is horrid and its scary. I always keep a lollypop in my bag now incase I feel like it but drinking loads is the key and sitting down xx

Re - constipation.

I switched 2 weeks ago onto my gestational diabetes diet (I dont have it yet thankfully) but I am trying to avoid it.

I have cut out white carbs and switched to brown pasta/rice. Eating lots of protein and dairy and loads of veg. I am still eating plenty of fruit as my sugars are fine at the moment.

The effect on my constipation problem has been amazing - I am totally normal again! It wasnt like I was even eating many white carbs before though, so i wander if it is just the increased fruit and veg???

I eat Paleo (although I have been so bad lately by eating brownies and cookies :dohh:) and the increased fruits and veggies with the lack of grains does wonders for me :) I only feel lousy when I eat the grains.


good luck on all the scans ladies :)!!!

I used to get that a lot, my doc said it was low blood pressure, sitting down and a fizzy drink helps :)
 
Thanks wriggler. I had to sit down before I fell and grabbed a bottle of
Sparkly water. Horrible feeling but glad to know its something ok!
 
Awwww it sounds like your BP went low - drink plenty of water and avoid standing up for too long.

If it was your blood sugar that went low then an apple/banana will get it up and stabilised quickly x
 
Low blood pressure is horrible. I have really low blood pressure when not pregnant but pregnancy lowers it even more! Yes drink lots, avoid caffeine, increase your salt a bit (I find salt and vinegar crisps pretty good) and support socks are also good when I'm really bad. Small meals instead of large meals also seem to help. If low blood sugar then those dextrose tablets are good! Bananas also good!
Hope you feel better soon it really is horrible and yes I always make an excuse as to why I need to sit down or get a drink lol! xx
 
Finally back from scan :( Didn't go too great- baby was a Echogenic bowel and something wrong with with the valves in his heart. I have an appointment in London with specialists on Thursday :cry:

Good evening ladies!!

19wks today!! Been feeling baby kick pretty strong now and I just love it.

DH started painting the nursery today, I found a perfect second hand bookcase, and I think I found a dresser! - I can't wait to see it finished and hoping it comes together.

I am scared of the idea that this baby is going to have to eventually come out of a rather small opening:wacko: My mom was in labor for 22 hours and I was breech and was turned around inside her. I am not looking forward to the pain but I am looking forward to meeting my little guy!! I can't wait to see what he looks like <3

Loving the kicks too! The other night I finally felt him outside my tummy--that was amazing! I put my hand down there just in time and he kicked it 4-5 times in a row. :happydance:

I am actually not scared at all about the labor part. I know I probably SHOULD be terrified to give birth, but for some reason I am mostly excited about it. I'm ready for it to be here! I'm more nervous about something being wrong with baby than anything else. Not at all worried about being a mom either because I have cared for children ages newborn to 12 for many many years...that is my job lol. So the only difference for me will be nighttime. I am used to getting my sleep...but it's nothing I can't handle. It will just be a blessing that I can hold my baby in my arms. :cloud9:
