Light headed

[TeamHarmonMom]

Beginning last week, I have been super light headed if I go too long without eating.  I have even had a car wreck due to this.  Thank goodness.  I believe this is due to me finally being cleared to run.  I think just eating more I should be ok.  It still is scary.  Anyone else have this symptom?

I was running before the car wreck.

No, the light headedness caused the car wreck.  I meant to say in my previous post thank goodness no one was hurt.

You may also need iron supplements in addition to your prenatal vitamins. I was feeling the same way and I regularly work out too but it turns out I just needed more iron. My midwife put me on 325mg to start and said if that didn't help after a week in could take two but one in the am and one at night. Hope that helps!! Feel better!

Try something w protein, that's helps balance out your blood sugar. Orange juice or apple juice is good too.

TeamHarmonMom,  I can't tell what you're saying.

You've had a car wreck due to being light headed,  and now you're trying to run?  I don't think running is great if you've already had a car wreck from light-headedness, and I'm not sure where the "thank goodness" comes in to play.  

If you're not eating enough,  certainly that would be something to pursue.

This is my 3rd pregnancy,  I never had it with my other two but this time I have been light headed and head feels fuzzy.  Hopefully this is normal,  good luck!
