Is it just me?

Question

Or when you even get slightly hungry you start feeling light headed and just off?? I ate a huge breakfast today and 2-3 hours later I could feel that my blood sugar was low. It’s just crazy because before pregnancy I could go longer than 2-3 hours between meals. This is making me afraid that I possibly have gestational diabetes, my first pregnancy I didn’t have GD so I’m not sure. Anyone else feel this way when it’s time for your next meal?

Answer

I felt that way in my first pregnancy and I did get GD. I’ve been following the GD diet more or less in the 4 years since then and I’m feeling good so far in this pregnancy. I’m likely to get GD again.

Answer

Definitely not just you! That happened to me too, especially in my first trimester. It has gotten better after I hit about 16 weeks.

Answer

I get super nauseas if I don’t eat what seems like the second I feel hungry. It’s horrible.

Answer

Not just you! Definitely me, too. Its almost a close to fainting feeling sometimes. I never felt this with my first so its not exactly welcome. Eating every 2-3 hours is a must!

Answer

I think for the sake of being pregnant we shouldn’t go to long without meals/snacking. I don’t have gestational diabetes and I feel the same way. It only happens when I get empty on food and I feel nauseous.

Answer

That’s how I am with both pregnancies

Answer

I've been feeling that way this pregnancy, my doc had me do an early GD test and I passed with flying colors. She says just snack but make sure they are healthy so I'm not just putting sugar/crap in my body to counteract it.

Answer

Yes if I feel hungry I get sick! Especially on an empty stomach in the morning! I try to eat an apple and PB or something semi healthy for in between meals but it’s tough to be hungry all the time!

Answer

It doesn’t happen to me that much during the day but I guess that’s because I usually eat/ have a snack within the 2-3hr timeframe but in the morning when I wake up I am so hungry that I’m physically in pain. I get up super early to usually do yoga like 3:30am( I work about an hour away from home and gotta be there by 6:30) and as soon as I wake up I check my blood sugar then immediately eat some PB or a hard boiled egg otherwise I start feeling lightheaded and can hardly function. have been diabetic since 2015 but have been off all meds since 2017. 
Funny fact..... well not really 🤪but I have been doing Keto for about 6 months before I got pregnant and since I am diabetic I still have to stay on a low carb diet to keep those numbers in check but decided I need to up my carbs a little more. There is a bread company called Ezekiel that makes low glycemic breads, if I don’t have that for breakfast or at least an early snack my nausea kicks in bad, guess my body needs those carbs to soak up whatever else I am eating 😉
Sorry that was a long comment! 
Wishing you all the best!!!!

Answer

You know this whole time I thought it was just me 
Both my other pregnancies I felt the exact same way I do now nauseous if I don’t eat every 2 to 3 hours . But glad to know it’s not just me
