		<description>Boy does this bring back memories. I too have hypoglycemia, not diagnosed until 2 years after my daughter was born, she just turned 20. I gained 21 pounds during pregnancy, lost 55 afterwards and I wasn&#039;t heavy to start with. I looked anorexic. I simply could not eat enough to feed me and her. 

I ate every hour. I got a food thermos and put it beside the bed so that I could eat immediately upon waking (cottage cheese and berries were my best source in the morning, though now that has too much sugar for me to tolerate.)

These are some suggestions:

-Avoid all grains (whole grain or otherwise, grains for very sensitive hypoglycemics, which you are during pregnancy, can really affect your blood sugar).
-In the same vein, avoid potatoes, rice.
-Stash dried apricots everywhere. I have them in my purse, beside the TV, beside the bed, in the washroom, everywhere so that you can get to them fast, even in your pocket (in a baggy of course). Eating 1/4 to one half an apricot slowly (really chew it, swish it around your mouth) can give you enough sugar to raise your blood sugars without spiking them because there is also fiber in them. This can give me 15 minutes or more to get to a real food source. Did you know that digestion of carbs or sugars begins in the mouth so if you take the time to swish it around and let it be absorbed you can eat much much less and prevent spikes. Always eat though, this is not enough to sustain you, it just saves you from passing out.
-Avoid lots of fruit, there is lots of sugar in it. Stick to berries and applies for low sugar fruit. Always pair it with a protein such as cheese, nuts, peanut butter. Never eat fruit alone. No fruit juice at all.
-Up your intake of vegetables, avoid root vegetables though such as parsnips, turnips, maybe carrots. Eat green beans, wax beans, peppers, squash, etc. Always eat vegetables with lunch and dinner. I like a really full salad for lunch which includes lots of veggies plus a protein and a homemake dressing of olive oil, vinegar and spices. Good oils help you to stay full longer. I try to have 3 vegetables for dinner. Vegetables don&#039;t include potatoes though.
-Snack every hour if you have to. It felt like I was eating constantly, but I started to feel better. They can be small snacks.
-Eat 1/2 hour before bed. Hopefully this will sustain you through the night. If not, have apricots ready for if you experience low blood sugar at night and have a snack there too. For a while during the pregnancy I had to wake up and eat during the night.
-I know I said no grains, but one grain that was and is still good for me is oats, rolled oats not instant. See if you can find gluten free, for some reason gluten can affect hypoglycemics. Put a small amount of berries in the bottom of your bowl, add a small scoop of soy or whey protein powder, vanilla can be nice though make sure there is no added sugar. Cover with rolled oats. Add seeds or nuts if desired. Add milk. Microwave for 1.5 minutes. Eat. This can help you last for up to 3 hours if it works for you.

		<description>Honey, I&#039;m telling you: oranges, really salt soup broth (like won ton or lipton&#039;s onion), and 2% chocolate milk. Between those and stoned wheat thins, I only passed out a few times.</description>

		<description>I feel bad for even admitting this, but I never had morning sickness with either pregnancy.  I DID have about 4 weeks of nausea and having to sit down and only move my eyeballs, but no projectiles.  Great tips though if I ever get pregnant again and it DOES happen, because you know I just jinxed myself, right?

Feel better soon!</description>
