Sort of Worried

Hi girls. So I am a little worried this morning because I woke up feeling extremely shaky and light headed. And also EXTREMELY tired and my heart feels like it's working rather hard. Now, exhaustion is not new in pregnancy, but mine has certainly been severe. I sleep 10 hours a night and an average of 2-4 during the day, sometimes more. I had a severe anemia problem when pregnant with my daughter and I told my doctor yesterday I would like to be tested for anemia because I am displaying similar symptoms, such as severe and uncontrollable tiredness.

Any, I had my Glucose screening test yesterday and was wondering if I could be experiencing some bizarre sugar crash this morning? Do you think I should worry?

I had my glucose screening earlier this week and definitely felt hungover from it the next day.

Let your doctor know but in the mean time drink a glass of Orange juice incase your sugar is low you don't want to pass out. Drink lots of water your body is pumping more blood there for your heart is working harder, rise slowly to avoid dizziness and fainting.
