My blood pressure was slightly elevated but they just sent me home to rest. I am feeling a tiny bit better.

Could be low blood sugar, could be low iron, could be related to your being sick.... It's not really normal, per se. Call your OB if it persists - in the meantime, try to snack a lot on small things to keep your blood sugar up. Saltines and stuff... :)

Thank u. I do know my iron is low bc I keep getting random bruises without anything touching me. I have had low iron with my previous children. I never had a problem with blood sugar tho and that's why it concerned me. But I will try ur suggestions and call the Dr if it doesn't stop. :-)

I'm in the same place you are as far as forgotten what it's like to be pregnant, my last one was five years ago too. I think best suggestion is tell you doctor so many thing can be normal at the beginning but it's also best to confirm especially since you know you have an iron issue, you may have developed something else that may need to be addressed.

One likely problem would be low blood sugar. Call your Dr, if for no other reason to make you feel more at ease :) keep us posted.

I called the Dr I'm waiting on a return phone call. I've tried snacks and my hands are still shaking and are feeling kinda numb and I feel dizzy. I tried something sweet but it didn't help.

I would get hot and dizzy at times. Then a few times I'd get weak and shakey, like I was going to pass out. I never really had bad morning sickness though but have been battling high blood pressure the whole pregnancy.

I've gotten that way sometimes when I needed to eat some protein. I hope you find out what's causing it!
