Hi Mummy: Have you had your glucose test yet? Sounds to me like you could have a bit of gestational diabetes!!! Mention this to your doctor, they will do a glucose test for you. MANY women get gestational diabetes, and they just have to change their diet. You should have your blood tested just to make sure your not a bit anemic too. Sounds totally normal by the way. Just get checked up on OK? Good luck and pre congratulations!!!
I think that bambi27 is right. It sounds to me like you are having some lower than normal blood sugar but you can take care of that pretty quickly by changing your diet and probably eating more so that you can stop feeling this way all the time. In any case, it's a good idea to see the doctor because those aren't typical symptoms at this point in time and you want to make sure that you do the best for your baby. Keep us posted on the diagnosis!
