@MrsY87 spoke to the midwife this afternoon, and she said she's going to check my blood test results again, but I think I would have heard by now if I had an iron deficiency? It's nearly four weeks since I had the blood test at my booking in appointment.
@Wames90 @seafoodeatit you were both right that I should have spoken to a GP rather than the MW! She basically just said well you are 11 wks now and most women start to feel better around 12/13 weeks so hopefully this exhaustion will pass but in the meantime just sleep as much as you can and try to keep eating normally. I guess midwives are so used to hearing women say "I'm tired / I feel sick".
I might see if I can get a telephone appointment with the GP but I'm nervous that they will tell me to reduce / stop the cyclizine (says on the box that it might cause drowsiness) and it has made a huge difference to the nausea. Although the last couple of days I've been feeling sick again so maybe it would be better to try something else? Just scared how bad I'll feel if I stop taking it 😭
I am pretty sure I have really low blood pressure (it always is low anyway and since getting pregnant I've been so dizzy and black out a few times a day) but as far as I'm aware Drs don't do anything about it anyway?
I feel like such a moaner so here's some Good news - I had a shower this morning for the first time since Friday (very ashamed to admit that!) and managed to strip the bed and put it in the wash - feel like I should get a medal for so much effort!!
And last night my dad commented that he thought I was more like myself again, not sure what made him think that but maybe he can see something I can't 😊
11+2 today and reeeally hoping the end of the first trimester will bring better days!
