I would definately get checked out. Blood pressure/urine etc to rule out high blood pressure/pre-eclampsia. If you get a very severe headache with/blurred vision I would phone the maternity ward ASAP, otherwise you can prob ring MW first thing in am. Hopefully all's well but better to be safe x

Jobear89 Ring GP or midwife in the morning, just to get checked out. You could just be knackered, are you drinking enough?

[Rindercella]

Jo, I would get yourself checked out asap. Could be nothing to worry about, but if nothing else you will be reassured if you see your mw/gp and are tested and then know that you've nothing to worry about. If there is something wrong, then you will be in the best place to get it sorted.

[jobear89]

thankyou, and yes i will ring them in the morning! i do sleep enough i spose, as for drinking not really no. to busy running round after a 2 year old!

[jobear89]

ive got midwifes tomorrow so dunno weather to wait till then.
was guna see if i get any worse then ring.

Ring them now.

It could be something, it could be nothing, but it is simply not worth the risk - particularly as you've had BP issues in the past.

[faverolles]

Definitely ring them now!
As Jenai says, it really isn't worth the risk, fo the sake of getting yourself checked out.

Please ring :)

[jobear89]

yeah im goin in an hour as im feeling alot worse x

[JenaiMarrHePlaysGuitar]

If it's easy for you to get there then by all means go, but I'd have thought your MW would want to come to you.

What has she said?

[JenaiMarrHePlaysGuitar]

Have you been checked over yet, jo?

[jobear89]

hey, yeah ive been. they put me on a moniter. my bp is quite low which they said might explain my tiredness and feeling weak. also had some blood taken the other week and they said my irons low and im probley dehydrated!
just need to look after my self abit more.
thanx for everyones replys :) xx

bless you do take good care oif yourself. I had some simmilar symptoms due to aneamia. If you take iron tablets take them with orange juice as vit c is required to help iron settle into body. It takes up to a month to replenish your iron supllies. iron tablets can cause constipation so I found pineapple juice, lots of fruit (inc prunes!!) and water helps. Also the tanin in tea and milk affects how well iron is absorbed so avoid for around an hour after taking an iron tablet. I found taking floradix better than my iron tablets from drs which made me feel a bit quesy.

hope your feeling better soon. Don't be afraid to ask family and friends for help.
