Blood sugar issue?

Kim

Did any mommas in this group struggle with LOW blood sugar during pregnancy? I know gestational diabetes is a lot more common. I hadn’t ever had problems with my blood sugar prior to becoming pregnant with my second but it ran extremely low my entire pregnancy starting at about 10 weeks. I had to constantly snack on things that don’t rapidly increase it but sustain in your system. It seemed to resolve briefly after he was born but after about a month, I started having trouble again and it’s been on and off since. It’s been pretty bad the last 3 weeks - I get really dizzy and lightheaded feeling. I’m sure a lot of that is due to me starting a new diet and workout routine, but I should be getting plenty of healthy sugars to keep my blood sugar up. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I have an appointment already scheduled with my regular doctor next month and one with my OB a week after that for my annual. I plan on asking them both about it. I tried to find info online and there’s really nothing out there - it’s all for high blood sugar. Figured I’d see if anyone on here has experienced anything similar or heard of it.
