Its now the back of 4 in the morning and instead of being woken by the baby im up with another hypo... causes by the fact that i cannot eat properly!
This was a problem in my last trimester which thankfully never caused any damage, but nearly 7 weeks on I still cant eat properly and it has gotten worse..
All week i wouldnt be surprised if I had consumed a day and half worth of calories, yesterday i only ate 4 chips and a ski yogurt the day before was 5 pringles and 1 chicken fajhita which made me physically sick! The same story for seven weeks now, I heard it was normal after giving birth but this long is taking its toll on my health, I can hardly sustain good blood sugars after a hypo and then they will go low again an hour later.....
its easy for the doctor to say just eat snacks but i tried toast and put one bit in my mouth then got the gag refex!!
I had anemia post c section due to losing 1350ml of blood, I stopped my ferrous sulphate a few weeks ago but wonder if I should still be taking something since my diet lacks everything at the moment... I feel shocking most days...
Im phoning my dsn today to see if she has any magical suggestions, I very much doubt it though.
Do any of you guys know how i can get around the fast acting then slow acting carb thing after a hypo, taking the lucozade is ok, but having something to maintain it afterward is a real problem at the moment
