Dizziness

[Sarah369]

So for the last 2 hours I've felt kinda dizzy and it won't go away

I've drank plenty and eaten and I haven't stood up to quickly or anything like that

I just feel kinda 'weird' and can't explain it very well. I just feel 'zoned' out.

I've rang midwife and got answer machine. Would you ring MAC?

I haven't got swollen feet, headaches or blurry vision. Although I did have a bit of funny vision the other day. I don't feel sick either

Normally when I've felt funny I've sat down for a bit and felt ok.

I'm not sure this post makes sense but just thought I'd see if I can get any input

Sounds like low iron to me which is very typical in pregnancy. I take liquid iron...it doesn't constipated you and actually helps go.

Why don't you give mat assessment a quick phone and see what they say? If nothing else, they can put your mind at ease while you're waiting for the midwife to ring back xx

 

[Sarah369]

Thanks ladies.

I'm going to try midwife once more at 2.30 I think and if no luck ring mac for peace of mind x

Phoned MAC. They said nothing too much to worry about and just rest. It's really comman but if I'm still feeling weird tomorrow to call back and they can look at doing some blood tests

I have just been to the mw, they said it might be the start of Pre E or low iron... I mean 2 extremes? Hope you get an answer x

Pretty broad extremes eh

I'm not so worried about pre e as I don't have any of the other symptoms.

Might text my mw and let her know I rang them.

If I feel weird still later I'll call them back

Is it just through a blood test they find if your anaemic?

I have no other symptoms either apart from they had me laughing which meant my bp was higher today

Yes...anemia (low iron) is determined through blood work.
