Dizziness and lightheadedness - Whats this all about??

I've been getting random lightheadedness and dizzy spells off and on for the last few months (am now 37+5 and it started around 5 months) - no pattern whatsoever - it can come on when I'm lying in bed, after breakfast, on the bus, sitting at my desk, after eating - totally random. Iron levels are fine, BP is fine & MW has no idea - anyone know what's causing this? I never actually faint but it feels like I am very close to doing so sometimes.

Yup, iron is fine and have been taking vits every day for the last year practically! MW thinks sometimes the baby just lies on a blood vessel or something...

I had similar symptoms, and very low blood pressure, which can sometimes be a pregnancy side effect, possibly this is what's causing it? hope you feel better soon!

BP is at the lower side or normal but still fine. 39 weeks today so hopefully wont have to put up with it for much longer!
