Electrolyte problems: Electrolytes are substances in the bloodstream like potassium, sodium, calcium and others that control fluids in that medium. When they are "out of balance" symptoms like yours occur. Your OB MD should have suggested ways to improve your electrolytes like juices, and foods that contain these elements. Talk to your OB MD about them now as pregnancy involves increasing blood fluid loads.
