Feeling lightheaded today... worried b/c my 1hr Glucose is Monday.

First of all... any advice on how to stop the lightheadedness? Granted... I had stinky sleep last night (up every hour... even watched People's Court on DVR for awhile and was on here at 3:30am). I was out at a Retirement Party last night (did some dancing ... couldn't help it when the Enrique song came on!). AND I'm a cleaning fiend today...

I had oatmeal and OJ for breakfast and I just had yogurt about 15 minutes ago. Still lightheaded.

Any advice?

Do you think this bodes badly for my Monday 1-hr Glucose? Would I feel symptoms for GD if I, God forbid, had it?)

TIA!

Relax...it's perfectly normal to remain dizzy throughout the pg. I have intermittent periods of dizziness and near fainting at least 2x a day. Doesn't matter why. Try drinking an extra glass of water, and standing up slowly. That's the advice I got, but honestly nothing helps me except 2min for it to pass. My 1hr was lat week and it was just fine. My advice, though, is don't eat before it. Food combined with the drink tends to give a false positive.

throughout ur pregnancy the progesterone levels change a lot in the body. Lots of time where there are surges of progesterone it causes dizziness.

Make sure u stay VERY hydrated. it helps.

I dont think it has much to do with GD
