I Found out i'm pregnant yesterday i've had stomach cramps the past few days and last night i woke up with really bad stomach pain i went to the toilet then i thought i'm going to be sick so i sat on the floor then i started feeling really faint and i ended up fainting in the process smacking my head on the bathroom door as i went.
My husband heard me calling his name before I fainted so he heard me hit the door and opened it up to find me falling out of the bathroom. He went and got a coke and when he came back i was coming to again i drank it then sat down until i felt i could stand to wash my hands.
I checked my blood sugars soon after this and it was 5.2 which suggests that i did have a hypo but not a very low one. Was absolutely terrified because although i've fainted before i've never felt that awful and obviously i was worried about the baby.
I've read up on stomach cramps and preganancy it says it happens when the ball of cells attaches it can cause stomach cramps so i'm not so worrid about them just the fainting whilst pregnant scares me. Anyway I'm going to doctors tomorrow to get the pregnancy confirmed so i will tell the doctor about the incident then. Was just wondering what to expect from doctor and when my first scan will be etc as a diabetic?
Thanks x
