I am 28 + 5, and since about 26/27 weeks I have gone downhill. I feel completley exhausted, which I could grit my teeth and carry on until I finish in 5 weeks, but at the moment I can't concentrate on what I am doing at work, I space out, I keep going light headed and dizzy. Whenever I try and do a little bit of housework I find I have to lie down afterwards. Its now getting to the point were its getting me down. Apart from having to get out of bed () I like working, and I want to hand over smoothly so I can finish without feeling guilty.
I have been to the doctors, my bp is normal, I have been checked over, baby has been checked over and appart from a slight irregular heartbeat is ok. Doc has put me on iron tablets which I have been taking for a couple of weeks now but I havent improved. I also eat quite regulary to keep my blood sugars level
I had my 28 week bloods on Wednesday and I have my check up with the midwife tomorrow.
I have been off work for about two weeks, and I thought I might have shaken it off by now. I am torn about what I should do. As I still dont feel right should I push myself and go back to work, or should I listen to my body?
I thought this part didnt start until the end of pregnancy
