has anyone experienced this

[JuneBaby17]

When I was driving to work this morning I started feeling really lightheaded. My vision was really weird- like blurry or gray. I really couldn't see and my arms just wouldn't do what I wanted them to. I had to pull into a gas station and sit for like 15 minutes. It was so scary. My chest felt tight and my whole body was sweating. This has happened once before earlier in my pregnancy when I was at the dentist. Does anyone else experience this or know what causes it?

I have been forgetting my prenatals a lot. I used to take them everyday without fail but 5 weeks left and I hardly ever remember now. I guess I just need to not be lazy and take better care of myself. Thank you all for the input.

Have you been taking your b iron pills? I have this problem, and my doctor said my blood count is low. I know its scary I actually passed out once. Increase your water intake,  and welchers grape juice is a good supplement to help with this problem.

Thanks, I will definitely look up some stuff about low blood sugar. I was thinking maybe I just didn't drink enough the day before. I was so tired when I got home from work that I went to bed at like 5.

I would get like that in my first trimester. I kept peanut butter crackers on me all the time. They always helped. It's a very scary feeling. Tell your dr when you go back for your next appointment. He can tell you a few things. My dr always said cut back on carbs. Because carbs have a lot of sugar in it. When your body gets use to a sugar intake and you don't have it's needing it. And that's what causes that feeling. He explained it way better than I just did. But that's basically what he meant! Hope I helped...

That sounds like low blood sugar, keep some snacks with you, anything with peanut butter is great for getting your sugar up in a hurry. I keep nutter butters and a juice box in my purse at all times for situations like that.

Maybe low blood sugar? I know sometimes with me when I have low blood sugar I get like that. Its a very uncomfortable and scary feeling.
