Dizziness

[daisystone]

I am 30 weeks and have been having the odd dizzy spell recently. This morning in the shower, I was washing my hair and all of a sudden was overcome with the feeling that I was going to fall over/faint so I had to sit down in the shower until this feeling passed. It happened twice more while I was in there.

When I eventually made it out of the bathroom and into the bedroom I had to sit on the floor for half an hour (the bed made me feel giddy??!) until I felt right again.

Not sure if this is something to be too concerned about or if it is just too much blood pumping around my body.

Anybody know?

Check your latest iron levels (should have had them taken at about 28 weeks) You could be slightly anaemic.

I am still waiting on my results. Don't see my midwife for another week and a half!

hows your blood pressure, mine went really low 80/50 in last pg which left me with dizzy spells. Drinking lots of water and eating regularly helped as it kept blood sugar levels up. I'd give your midwife a ring about it though.

The GP should get a copy sent to them. Ring them and ask. LittleB has a point as well re BP. In fact if its not just the once, go see the GP & get your BP checked, they can check bloods for you as well.
