6w 2d and feeling shaky??

Question

Hello! I'm 6 weeks 2 days pregnant and dont have my first OB appointment until the 23rd. But for the last few days I've been getting shaky by mid morning. I eat breakfast at about 6:30am and by 11am I feel shaky and nauseous. I've been drinking 6-8 glasses of water. What could be causing this and what can I do to help it?

Answer

Eat snacks. It’s probably low blood sugar.

Answer

I agree with the blood-sugar comment. I’m 6w4d and I start feeling badly after a few hours. Your body is doing a lot of work right now and the babies vital organs (including brain!) are developing so it’s important to feed yourself. Keep the snacks healthy, I eat like 2 apples a day and make smoothies with a cup of 25 calorie almond milk with frozen berries. I’ve maintained despite the added snacks, I think because I’m opting for healthy items and trying to make high protein choices during meals so I feel fuller longer. When you see your OB maybe ask about a referral for a nutritionist? We did IVF so my RE doesn’t do those referrals, but it’s my first question for my regular OB when we go at the end of the month. 
Best of luck!
