36 weeks today so dizzy and seeing stars

[lowironandsurgery]

I have low iron, could it be linked to this ?
The stars are new, the dizziness/woozy feeling I've had on and off for a few weeks but the last couple of days it's constant. I'm very breathless, had a headache on and off

Phone triage! You will never regret a call to check on your baby!

ring your local pregnancy unit to get checked out, and consider it something you need to do straight away. It might be fine, but it is always worth checking out change in health. Hope you’re ok.

Get yourself seen today. It could be nothing. Or it could be pre-eclampsia- potentially v serious indeed for you and your baby if left untreated. Getting checked is easy, organise it asap (def today).

This could be a blood pressure thing. You need to get checked out now.

I'm very very emotional too but that's probably just hormones, I have a blood pressure machine, well my husband does I will check my bp. Mine is usually very low, what would be considered high does anyone know ?

Urgent review at mat triage to exclude pre-eclampsia. Please ensure you do this asap. Hope all ok x

If everyone said don’t worry OP, have a lie down on your sofa and you’ll be fine would you listen? I think you’re going to have to practice how to deal with concerning health symptoms before baby arrives. Call 111 or maternity triage for advice.

You need to see a midwife or doctor. Today.

Just call your midwife or maternity dept, they will most likely get you in and give you a check over and listen to baby. Don't wait x

I'd be very worried about pre eclampsia. Phone your maternity unit now.

Agree pre-eclampsia concern. I had it with the same symptoms, especially the seeing stars.

Is this your 1st pregnancy or 1st with the father?

Hope you on the phone to maternity unit and they tell you to come in.

I'm not trying to frighten you but I had this and just thought I'd rest and have a lie down , it got worse as the day went on and I called the maternity unit where I went in and didn't come back out til I'd had my baby as it was pre eclampsia. I was lucky we were told a few more hours and there would have been a tragic outcome. Please don't waste time thinking it's nothing and get checked

Trying the Mau but constantly busy.
My blood pressure was 113/68 which is normal for me

@lowironandsurgery still go and get checked properly

Then just drive there in person. It's super important that you get seen today with these symptoms. Even if the BP is apparently normal.

I never understand posts like this. You know you aren’t well but yet rather than get help you’re asking unqualified people on the internet. You are heavily pregnant , anemic and clearly not well. Unless your husband is a doctor get to the hospital . This isn’t normal

Please continue to try and contact them and if you can't get through call 111 or out of hours GP. I'm sure they will want you seen urgently. It could nothing but could be pre eclampsia which can be life threatening for mum and baby if not treated.

Just go to the hospital if the phone is busy.

@Deebee90 especially as every single poster has said seek medical attention. Even if you were unsure the first few posts all said the same. I'm hoping the op is on her way to hospital as we speak.

Seeing stars is a pre eclampsia symptom

All classic signs of pre eclampsia, get checked out ASAP

On way

Good luck op. I had preeclampsia and it can be very dangerous so I’m glad you’re going to get checked out.

Hopefully it isn't that though. Can the stars be linked to low iron ?

Just to update, they want to rule out a blood clot. All signs of a PE apparently
I hope not obviously
My iron levels have come back okay and not bad so it's not linked to that
