Not sure whats goin on...blood sugar?Diabetes? Not too worried but its not comfortable...

I noticed lately i will eat breakfast then lunch and sometimes i wont eat dinner for about 4 hours or so. I all of sudden get really dizzy and feel like im about to faint, i shake really bad and sweat. I feel just awful! Then when i drink some water, eat peanut butter crackers and a fruit cup i start to feel better. I mean i really almost passed out a few times. I remember having those problems in high school and a lil after but it wasnt this bad. Thats also because i didnt eat much to begin with. I eat alot now. Is that diabetes or blood sugar problems? Or just pregnancy? Thanks :) Also, have you noticed you get dehydrated faster when your pregnant? It seems like i never drink enough water...

I had my blood sugar checked wed but i still have to wait for the results.

Its possible it could be a couple of things. I never had an iron deficiency until about the 3rd trimester and then once I had Aspen I didn't have it anymore.

Maybe gestational diabetes? I know that constant thirst is a side effect of diabetes, talk with your Dr.!

I know that I would get really dizzy during my pregnancy and feel hot and like I was about to faint but mine was caused by pregnancy anemia.
