| Nearly Fainted
This morning was so scary for me
i was on the bus on my way to work standing up as it was packed got half way there and I started to feel really faint and started seeing spots. I got off the bus and sat at the bus stop for a minute.
Then I rushed into starbucks which was the closes thing and ordered a muffin and hot chocolate.
I have learnt my lesson now to eat before I leave the house .
I was so scared that I was going to faint I knew it was because I hadnt eaten. |

I've only actually fainted once which was in my first pregnancy, in the middle of Sainsburys, lol!! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | If you don't have time to eat in the morning, just buy some of those breakfast bars or something, or carry a couple of biscuits in your handbag? |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | ah yes, i have had this happen on 2 or 3 occasions, and my suspicion is that it is due to low blood sugar in the morning. |

| I am 16 weeks. I had breakfast this morning b4 I left for work and i felt much better, even though I couldnt eat it all as i started to heeve after eating half of it, because i usually have to wait more than a hour to eat in the mornings, maybe ill just have fruit or something small in mornings instead of breakfast then eat breakfast when i get to work |
