Quick - need help!

Aliliv

I'm super light headed, not to the point of not being able to function (obviously, because I'm typing).  Is there any quick fixes, any foods to eat that are better at combating this?    I have two other children that need me to have energy!!!    It comes and goes in waves!     All I really want right now is chocolate - need ideas!

Your sugar may be low - try eating an orange or banana.

Sit with your feet elevated, and eat a sandwich.  Usually any kind of food will help me get over the light-headedness.

Thanks!  I had a ton of bananas this morning, I'm drinking milk right now and eating lunch.   Hopefully, it will pass soon  - I never had this issue with my other pregnancies.

Some times I feel like that and realize I haven't had any protein all day - try some peanut butter.

 This!  Sometimes when I wake up after a few glasses of sweet wine (pre baby of course) I feel light headed.  PB and crackers always does the trick.  Or try a PB and Banana sammy.  Yum!

I would suggest fruit if your sugar is low, but sometimes protein helps me too. Also stay VERY hydrated and just lay down for a few minutes. Hope this helps.

Thanks everyone!   I've had lots of protein and fruit, so far.   I feel better!  I'm just having one of those precarious days, so I'll take it easy for the rest of the day.
