Feeling faint, light-headed, face feels hot...

[ready4lullaby]

Hi, I am feeling faint, light headed, my face feels hot...I just drank water and I feel nauseated now. I am going to eat something to see if that helps, but any advice out there? I'm 34 weeks.

Sound like how I feel when I get too hungry and my blood sugar starts dropping. Eat something with some protein and lay down for about 30 minutes. See if that helps.

ETA: If that doesn't help you might want to go in to get your BP checked. Hope you start feeling better!

As above, if I haven't eaten in a while I feel like this too, and if i drink a lot of water before eating when I feel like that I get sickish too. Have something like scrambled eggs on toast or a jacket potato and see how you feel!

When did you last eat?

I ate at around 7, so it's possible I was low on sugar. I'm at work, so I'm eating my lunch early and will have to find something else later in the day as well--I have the luxury to eat whenever, so that's fine.

I still feel a little funny and my face is still hot, but not quite as bad.

Thats good to hear hun. Maybe keep a few small snacks with you at all times, things like cereal bars, nuts, etc! x
