Common Questions and Answers about Hypoglycemia pregnancy weight gain

hypoglycemia

Avatar f tn Your weight gain is fine hun. The main thing is to try to eliminate as much sugar from your diet as possible (no artificial sugars either) and eat lots of protein. You should treat hypoglycemia almost exactly as you would treat diabetes. I know that's not always easy, but high protein & lots of veggies will help regulate your blood sugar. If you get a sweet tooth, eat fruit, not sweets. You'll do great!
4154024 tn?1363755731 All along I been trying to monitor my pregnancy weight gain week by week using MedHelp Pregnancy App and the entry results has been driving me up the wall. I finally contacted my OB with this concern and they provided me a breakdown of the weight entries since I was tested positive and the results seem to be within normal range. What should I do to keep my mind off my weight gain?
Avatar f tn Once I started doing that the hypoglycemic events decreased drastically and I started to gain weight appropriately. Also, I was a candy addict before getting pregnant and if you eat simple sugars like that it will raise and drop your blood sugar quickly. Also had to give that up!! Hope this helps.
Avatar f tn m too little but my not has no concerns on my weight gain he say I just might be tiny.
Avatar f tn Hello About 6 weeks ago I saw a new Endo, my third one and (she) listened to my complaints (weight gain, massive tendonitis in feet and legs)and generally feeling off health wise to this appointment (I brought proof) of my weight gain see I lost and kept off 120 pound for over 6 years until my thyroidectomy (cancer) 13 months ago my original Endo(male)said my issues are in my head and I should see a specialist and take diet pills for my weight.
Avatar f tn Anyone know what I can eat that will be both good for baby and make me gain weight? I have hypoglycemia so I can't just eat candy bars or chocolate. Baby isnt growing like she's supposed to so I want to gain as much weight as I can, as fast as I can just in case they have to induce...
Avatar f tn i become tired, ill feeling, weak, sometimes disoriented, and fall asleep often after eating, etc . I have lost 20pounds. i have never been able to gain weight and have always been considered underweight-this is very distressing because generally this will take me a year to gain back. The only exception to this was pregnancy where i gained more than half my body weight without trying and immediately lost the weight post partum.
736293 tn?1316517842 , but that just seems really extreme to me. I know i could gain the weight she wants by next appt, but i am not willing to do it in an unhealthy way just to make her happy. To me 2 pounds really doesn't seem like a lot, but she said since it is 20% of what i have gained total is why she is making a big deal out of it. I haven't changed any of my eating habits, but the weather is finally getting nice here, so i am getting out of the house and being more active.
956433 tn?1255977108 and since i cant eat lots of carbs and sugars i dont gain alot of weight, and since i started zoloft i lost 5 more pounds(at least i think its the zoloft..my anxiety makes me think im losing weight from some other serious problem..im about 5'11 adb weight 130 pounds, its terrible..
Avatar f tn Well, my last test showed by levels were back to normal, yet my fatigue remains, so does the insomnia and depression (for which I take anti-depressants). My weight gain continues and I suffer from reactive hypoglycemia - yet it seems inconsistent. I track my food daily and often eating similar foods on consecutive days - most of the time I'm ok, then I can repeat a meal and have an attack. Don't understand why.
Avatar f tn Is it just me or was that a rude comment? Your already ahead of the game in the weight gain department! How do you know know that? She could be tall and slim and weigh that or be extremely fit and pure mussel. It is very normal to lose weight in the start. I wouldn't worry to much about weight gain unless you are gaining extreme amounts all at once. If baby is healthy that's all that matters. Your Dr will let you know if it's an issue or not.
Avatar f tn I'm 16 weeks and still under my pre-pregnancy weight (only by 2lbs). My midwife assures me I will pack on some pounds soon. I'm sure you will round off those numbers later on.
Avatar f tn If your pre-pregnancy weight was in the healthy range for your height (a BMI of 18.5 to 24.9), you should gain between 25 and 35 pounds, gaining 1 to 5 pounds in the first trimester and about 1 pound per week for the rest of your pregnancy for the optimal growth of your baby.If you were underweight for your height at conception (a BMI below 18.5), you should gain 28 to 40 pounds.If you were overweight for your height (a BMI of 25 to 29.9), you should gain 15 to 25 pounds.
Avatar f tn I would ask if theres a medical reason for why u have to gain that weight. my ob said its normal to lose weight when pregnant or gain a small amount. ive done reasonable i guess. ive gained 23 pds and kinda wish i hadnt bc i feel sluggish and not my best. As long as baby is healthy i dont see y it matters.

Avatar f tn I'm 26 weeks pregnant and recently had a doctors appointment checkup. They checked my weight and turns out I've only gained 1 pund throughout my whole pregnancy. Doctor says we have nothin to worry about if baby is growing fine. Just wondering how much everyone has gained so far through out there pregnancy and if I'm not the only one having trouble putting on weight?
Avatar n tn If you don't properly digest your food you will store fat. Taking digestive enzymes with ox bile will help your condition. I had my gall bladder removed 2 and 1/2 years ago and had problems with abdominal pain and weight loss. I lost weight because every time I ate I would have pain. The less I ate the better I felt. I started taking digestive enzymes 6 months after surgery because I developed fibromyalgia. It helped with my abdominal pain.
Avatar f tn I was 290 pre pregnancy and went to doctor yesterday at 22 weeks and was 286. It was also my first time meeting the high risk attending, she said since I was considered obese pre pregnancy I'm to gain no weight. I would just ask your doctor what he/she recommends.
Avatar f tn Eat more frequently?? Something is obviously wrong. It could possibly be hypoglycemia or diabetes. Weight loss is not necessarily a symptom, especially of Type 2 Diabetes. Random blood sugar tests are virtually meaningless. He needs to do an A1C which is a test of the average of your blood sugars for the last couple months. If it is not hypoglycemia or diabetes then you need a doctor who will help you figure out what else it might be.
Avatar n tn achy, cold and weight gain, shaky when blood sugar feels low. Do you take two meds at the same time? What about natural supplements? Thinking about going to a health food store.......hate taking any more meds than I have to.
Avatar f tn They can have facial hair, weight gain is also common. But weight gain can be associated with a slow thyroid as well (and too much eating, ha ha). So, is it PCOS or thyroid or just your normal self . . .?? Really, only a doctor can tell you this and this is who you should see.
1571533 tn?1322943509 he thinks this is whats caused the headaches to get bad since last summer, if it is then it could also be a major factor in my weight gain too.. he did a test on me today that proved i have headaches that are mimicing migraines not true migraines.. they did tests before the surgery but sa far as i know none tested my sugar, i was under the impression they were just tests to be sure i was healthy enough for the surgery, you know the day before pre surgery tests?
Avatar f tn Just curious to know how much weight did you ladies gain during your pregnancy?
