Last night I was out at dinner, and all of
a sudden I started to get really light
headed and sick feeling. I had like
tunnel vision and felt like I was going to
fall asleep right at the table!! I got
all white and sweaty, and I couldn't tell
if I was having hot flashes or cold
sweats!! It felt like my heart was racing
and I couldn't catch my breath.....
Has anyone ever gotten like that?? Is it
due to being pregnant?? Should I worry??

It sounds like either a low blood sugar
reaction or a dehydration reaction.
Both blood sugars and fluid balances get
out of whack during pregnancy. Mention
it to your ob at next visit. There is no
immediate danger, but watch out when
driving or hanging out at the top of
ladders and such until next visit. As
long as you are close to a place where you
can sit down if it reoccurs, you are fine,
though most likely it was an isolated
incidence.
It also won't harm to have a bit of
chocolate or a sprite/7-up on hand for
fast blood sugar if it happens again.

lol please don't hang out at the top of a
ladder brianbaby... I'm hypoglycemic and
I get dizzy now and then, but steen is
right, something with a lil sugar helps..
A little though.. :)

That happens to me too sometimes but then
I drink a glass or 2 of orange juice and
it usually makes me feel better
