dizzy

Tomorrow I'll be 17 weeks. I've been having terrible headaches, dizziness, fatigue and weakness. It worries me, especially when I'm at work. The nurse practitioner at my job states that I may have diabetes since being pregnant. I checked my sugar and it was at 94mg. So it can't be that... I think...

I agree, try drinking a lot more water or electrolyte drinks. It is so hard to not become dehydrated while pregnant & most headaches that everyone (even nonpregnant) are caused by dehydration. Like when you have a hangover.

I was the same way, only thing that helped was drinking extra water and power-aid. Also staying away from screens all I could and naping when I could. Hang in there, I'm 22weeks now and feeling much better.
