Not Feeling So Hot...
I don't know how to explain this...but maybe someone out there has felt this way...
Was fine when i woke up this morning - totally fine...tired, but that's nothing new.
Within the last hour or so...i've started to feel kinda 'off'. Not dizzy - but i feel 'not right'... Like, if i turn my head fast - i feel like my eyes follow a second or two slower...i'm STARVING...and i had breakfast 2 hours ago...i'm drinking water...and i'm due for a snack in 15 minutes (but i'm going to eat NOW).
My sugar from breakfast was okay, a little higher than usual (114) - but nothing outrageous...
Thoughts????

Re: Not Feeling So Hot...
Maybe it could be your BP. Maybe have a salty snack and see how you feel. make sure you are hydrated.
Feel better

Re: Not Feeling So Hot...
It could be your BP but it's probably just an "off" day. I have them every once in a while.
Can be caused by a hormone surge, baby is having a growth spurt. You are producing more blood today, or any combination fo the above!
Just try and take it easy, drink your water, and snack.
If you start getting really lighteaded or dizzy or the symptoms intesnify call your MD
Pregnancy is weird, some days you feel great, other days.......

Re: Not Feeling So Hot...
You're pregnant - 
Seriously, some days are just 'off' days when your body just does not feel like your own (b/c it's just NOT anymore !!)
And you can't really explain WHAT isn't quite right, it's just not right .......  Do I make any sense at all ??

Just to calm you down a bit.. I usually get this when my blood pressure seems to drop down lower than normal.. I think high blood pressure is the severe headache and stuff...
Hope everything is okay!! update us after using the cuff

Re: Not Feeling So Hot...
Well, your bottom numbers are on the low side (I think anyway) I had this when I was pregnant with my DD. I had to make sure I ate like every 2-3 hours, even if it was just a granola bar. If I didn't, I would start spinning. It wasn't a dizzy feeling, it was more like I was seeing trails on everything.
Feel better Jess...

You numbers are perfect! The first one - with the high systolic reflects you being nervous (that number is most affected be nerves). Your other readings are perfect!! A diastolic of 67 is not considered too low at all. I have 2 cuffs home and consider myself a semi-expert at all this BP stuff - unfortunately 
One trick if you ever feel like your BP is low is either eat something salty or drink something with caffeine. Also drink plenty of fluids - dehydration lowers your bp. And the converse is true of your BP is high - try to limit fluid intake as it raises your BP.
Otherwise I would say your symptoms are normal pregnancy symptoms plus there are a few bugs floating around that can also make you feel off

Re: Not Feeling So Hot...
last 2 numbers are fine, 1st number is a BIT high but nothing too alarming...I think my doctor says anything over 140/90 is considered high
feel better

Re: Not Feeling So Hot...
the nurse called me back - it's normal, but because of how i feel combined with the GD - she's going to have the doc take a look at her notes about what i told her and have the doc call me back later...just to err on the side of caution...
i love my OB practice...i really do. I didn't even tell her about the GD - she said it to me, she said, you do have GD now, right??? I know it's silly, but it mattered to me that she checked my file before calling me...

I feel that way sometimes Jess when I'm coming down with something. I would try to rest up as much as you can and if it doesn't get better you can always check your BP or call your OB.

Re: Not Feeling So Hot...
spoke to the doc...
she had me do my blood sugar earlier than 2 hours after lunch...(but i still have to do it then too, dangit)...to rule out a sugar problem. It was fine...lower in fact than after breakfast...
she said to monitor my symptoms, if i start to see spots, get a bad headache or anything else - call immediately. get a good nights' sleep and see how i feel tomorrow...again - feel the same or worse, then go in...
