Hypoglycemia And Pregnancy Posted: 01-03-07 15:08pm
I found out nearly 3 years ago that I am
hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Does
anyone know how this will be affected by
pregnancy? I am currently 7 weeks along.
Are there any extra precautions that I
should take? I have my first doctor's
appointment in a couple of days, so I am
definitely going to ask him about it; but
these forums are so great, I thought would
see if any of you on here had experienced
the same thing.

my doctor told me not to worry about being
pregnant and having hypoglycemia. I have
the same problem as you. I'm currently
ttc and he told me as long as I take care
of myself, I shouldn't need to worry.

Thanks for your response. It took me
awhile to get it under control, but I
haven't had a spell in 2 years now. It
really helped a lot when I learned to stay
out of the sweets!!!! Hopefully all will
go well.

It took me a while too.
I found out I was hypoglycemic on my
honeymoon. We were touring this mansion
and we were on the top floor and suddenly
I couldn't see anything and heard a loud
buzzing and was out like a light. I woke
up and my husband was bawling (we were
married 2 days before) and i'm like what's
the matter with you and what the hell am I
doing on the floor and why the hell is the
tour guide screaming!!
The following 2 weeks was full of nothing
but doctors appts. And tests. That
glucose test was discusting!
You'll be fine as long as you take care of
yourself. Make sure you ask the doctor
any questions you have. He can't answer
them if you don't ask.
