No wonder I haven't been feeling well

BabyRN2006

Sorry I haven't been around much. I've been feeling like crap lately so I haven't been Bumping much. Dizzy, lightheaded, nauseated, short of breath, feeling really weak, and near constant headaches.

Today I had my 1 hour glucose test. Not only did I fail that miserably (159) I am also anemic. My hemaglobin is down 4 points from my norm. 

I take the 3 hour GTT next week but I am not very optimistic. I am overweight and have a heavy family history of diabetes. I think I will start looking at my diet and change how I eat regardless. Even if I end up passing, its probably only a matter of time before it becomes an issue. 

They aren't starting me on iron yet, they want me to try adding more dietary iron first. I think I will use this as an excuse for DH to grill me steak more often

I'm bummed about the results but hopefully now I can do something about it and start feeling better. Especially since I am almost in 3rd tri and know that is probably going to be rough anyway!
