Extreme Dizziness - what to do

Mommy2Isabella wrote: I am so dizzy. I have been this whole pregnancy, but today is way bad. I can barely stand up without almost falling over. Im sitting down and feel like everything around me is moving around. Even when i lay down.

What should I do ??

Mommy2Isabella replied: called i have to go in at 130 today. they are worried about my blood sugars being low or something like that, or my iron. Im eating just fine, so I don't know ...

I have no clue as to what else it could be, I am trying to relax but, I have 3 kids to take care of. I am going to call my dad and see if he can watch them or something!

my2monkeyboys replied: My best friend was very dizzy when she first got pregnant, and the dr thought it was her equilibrium. Then she found out she was preggers! Hers went away on it's own though.
Hope they find it's just something nice and simple!

Sounds stupid... but it works. One of the reasons you get dizzy and off balance is that the little hairs in your ears and the canals move around, like grass on a windy hill... and stopping that little wiggling ceases most dizzyness.

Or something like that.

That's a great analogy!

A&A'smommy replied: goodness I hope your feeling better!!!!

Mommy2Isabella replied: Well I am back from the dr. My blood sugar was LOW ... they changed my diet, I am now on a strict diet boo ... as well as I was referred to a ENT I may have an ear infection ... YAY! LOL I thought I felt one coming on, i get them all the time!

So, thats the word, just got put on a diet.

luvmykids replied: Yuck, I used to get terribly sick because of low blood sugar. Hope the new diet helps

moped replied: what does the diet entail???

Mommy2Isabella replied: Just eating more protein, and foods that are higher in sugar, not junk though, like fruits and such .. the good stuff, I need to drink juice, I was on something similar with bella to help me gain weight, which I seem to be having a problem with this time as well, I have lost more than i have gained .. YIPPEE!

gr33n3y3z replied: oh good it doesnt sound like anything serious
I hope you feel better

boyohboyohboy replied: i am glad that you were able to see the dr so soon and get it taken care of. I hope that you can get the blood sugars to stabilize...
wasnt it bella that just had some trouble with ear infections? now its you we have to worry about with your ears!

Mommy2Isabella replied: I had tubes when I was a kid ... bella i think might have another ear infection, I am going to call tomorrow and see if I can get her in as a sick visit on friday morning ...
She keeps pulling at them and such ...

CantWait replied: Awww sorry, at least it's controllable though.
