I get the feeling like I'm really weak and about to fall over its the same feeling as when I got blood drawn the day I didn't drink or eat anything and I fainted.. I feel all shaky and hot too.. anyone know what this is? How to prevent ? Is it normal?

I get fainty & hot & week, docs say it's a common pregnancy symptom. I keep snacks close & drink water constantly. I faint on average 6 times a year for 7 yrs... wish I had more answers but I'm a pro now @ signs, symptoms & preventing it. Snacks & water & cooling myself off.

It definitely sounds like your sugar is too low, and as long as it's not a frequent thing, don't stress about it, carry snacks with you, like peanut butter crackers or peanut butter cups, and some water.

I agree with RoxyDD...i also had the same issues in the first tri its was my blood sugar/ low protein/now im anemic also...so surely there is a link...try eating hi protein foods and drink a big cup of Juice, apple  grape etc...sugar in that should help! :)

I used to have this in my first trimester, I talked to my midwife and she said it was low blood pressure and going to long without eating. It's normal to feel dizzy or faint sometimes.

I ate a cookie like 10 minutes before it happened so I don't think its blood dugar

What's gp? And thanks bunches I'll call my doctor Monday and talk to her about it.. I wasn't too worried but its happened twice not including when blood got drawn

I'm gestational diabetic and get like this when my blood sugars drop too low. Please mention this to midwife or doctor.. I wouldnt say its a normal pregnancy thing.. could be the sugars, iron like above mentioned, could be other things though x if you get like that, eat something sweet asap. If it makes you feel better after a while its most probably.a blood sugar issue x

Sounds like it could be your sugar/iron levels or blood pressure, both of which you should get checked over with your GP, especially when pregnant xXx hope all goes well & ya feel better soon xXx
