Not Feeling Great

Hi,

Just wondering if this is normal really. I am 36 + 4 with our second DD. Over the weekend I ring the midwife as my feet had really swollen up, however she was not concerned and reassured me.

Today I feel very nauseous, lethargic and light-headed. Is this to be expected this far along? Baby is still moving fine btw.

Get thee to a medical knowledgeable person. It may well be nothing, but swollen feet plus your other bits might be pre-eclampsia. Let yourself get checked out, pampered and tested as much as you need now...you are nearly there! X

Forgot to day, if you don't fancy face to face as it's a hassle, why not try calling 111 as a first off? At least they'll have a checklist to go through with you and can advise you properly.
Good luck x

I agree, phone the hospital and get monitored if you are not sure. It might be nothing but its always a good idea to get bp and urine tested to rule out pre eclampsia.
