And it's back

I've been getting dizzy again. I discussed it with my OB and yesterday's appointment and he's not incredibly concerned, since dizziness is common in pregnancy. I am to keep a log of when and what I eat combined with when I feel dizzy. I started it this morning and it appears that it happens 1-2 hours after I eat, which means it might be blood sugar related. I go for my glucose screening in the morning, and it looks like he added a CBC onto the regular order, so he'll check some other possibilities.
Through keeping track of my eating today, and estimating high portions on some things, I discovered I'm a little low on calories and protein. So I'm having a couple hard boiled eggs to get up at ~1700 calories and above 65g of protein. The calories are probably still a little low, but we'll see.
I don't want to go through this dizziness business again!
