cold chills, fatigue & feel faint 6wks preg

[hubbabubba]

I fell asleep about 7.30pm this eve after popping DD down to bed, have just woke up and after about 5 mins of being awake have had really bad cold shivers alongside feeling very faint. That was about half hour ago and i feel okish again at the minute.....does anyone know what could have caused this and what i should do/eat if it happens again?

cold shivers is often a sign of fever - have you taken your temp?

the tiredness and faint feeling could be preg symptoms though - are you eating often enough?

I had this last thursday and it was caused by low blood sugar levels. I felt dreadful. Midwife said eat muesli bars and have smalls snacks all the time even when you don't feel hungry. Grapes are a good healthy source for sugar. I've been having lucozade and eating more and more to keep my sugar up.
