Hi everyone,
I almost passed out on the bus on Monday so have been taking it easy since then. When I am lying down or sitting slouched I don't feel faint but my SPD and back ache flares up. I've found when I sit on my birthing ball or on a hard chair I feel really dizzy. I talked to my midwife and she said it's probably just my lowish blood pressure + heat + not drinking enough water. But I've been downing water all day and just had another 'episode' of feeling really woozy and weak :-( Any ideas on what I can do? My iron levels were fine at 28 weeks, but midwife has taken blood again today in case.
I've been working from home all week but am delivering workshops in a school tomorrow which means both bus travel and being on my feet so am a bit anxious about that :-/
I know it's normal to feel faint if you stand up quickly, but I can't work out why sitting on my birth ball causes it.
