Blood sugar low?!?!or high

I am currently 8 wks and this morning I stepped out of the shower and was getting ready I instantly felt hot and clammy tried to walk out of the bathroom and my vision went black I laid in the floor until I cooled off . Upon feeling better I ate An apple and drank some orange juice as a " natural sugar" now I feel excellent??! I'm confused and worried about what possible hypoglycemia/ diabetes means for my baby???

I don't think I will be of much help, but This some times happens to me and I was told that it is from low blood pressure? or sugar. wow I can't remember which one now sorry. Anyway This may be TMI but it only happens to me when I have to go Potty and it will be loose stools and I feel very hot and sick almost like I could vomit. Now not every time I go to the bathroom (once a day) does this happen. I have noticed it happens every week give or take a few days.  I have also noticed that it's on days that I did not eat breakfast right away. Eat as soon as you get up and graze through out the day (healthy snacks and meals) and see if that doesn't help :D Good luck

Yea low blood sugar will do that to you. It's called hypoglycemia and I've had it since I was little. If you don't eat properly or eat regularly it makes you dizzy and you could black out. And it's about 10 times worse since I got pregnant. I almost blacked out this morning at work. I'm not really sure if it has any negative effects on the pregnancy my doctor hasn't warned me of anything yet.

How hot was your shower?  It's really easy to overheat when you're pregnant and overheating can cause just what you described.  Try taking cooler showers.

Based upon what you described, I'd say your situation is due to low blood pressure caused by vasovagal syncope. I see this too often as a RN.
