Sometimes between meals i feel shaky, dizzy and kind of sweaty, then im fine after i eat something. Im 25 weeks. Wondering what actually causes these sugar drops in pregnancy. did this happen to anyone here?
When my morning sickness was bad I couldnt eat much and that dropped my sugar, felt so weak. I started nibbling small things often, dry fruits, a biscuit, fruit. Helped keep me steady through the day.
Mostly it happens when you go too long without eating, especially in early pregnancy with the nausea. Keep small snacks handy and dont skip breakfast. If you feel shaky or dizzy often, get it checked.
If you're getting low sugar episodes with dizziness or fainting feeling, please dont ignore it and tell your doctor. There can be different reasons and they'll want to check. Carry a snack with you meanwhile.
Common causes are skipping meals, long fasting gaps or sometimes medication if you're on any for diabetes. Frequent small balanced meals usually help. But if it keeps happening, your doctor should evaluate the cause.
I dealt with sugar issues so I learnt a lot. Low sugar often happens from long gaps between meals or skipping food. My doctor told me to eat small frequent meals so it stays steady. Please discuss your diet with your gynac, dont guess.
