Anaemia but not Anaemia.

Hey, :)
Everyone keeps saying I'm looking pale. As in very pale - to the point that they ask if I want the day off work, my boyfriend and mum have likened me to looking like a 'cancer patient', etc. I haven't sunbathed this summer like I normally would.
I'm 23 weeks pregnant, and have had at least two blood tests for anaemia now, all coming back as negative.
I am a generally tired person, 12 hours sleep is needed to make me feel good, and if I'm working a normal length day (6-8 hours?), after a few days my life is just sleeping eating and working as I no longer have the energy to do anything else.
My blood pressure can get quite low, as well as my blood sugars - I have had hypotension a few times, resulting in fainting and paramedics (oops).
I haven't seen a doctor since I got the last set of blood test results back, so I'm not exactly sure whether to go back again and say something must be causing these symptoms.
Or maybe I'm just watching too much House episodes. Hmm

I'd go back as some more work needs to be done. Just to make sure you're okay really.
