Cramps and dizziness @ 19 weeks

[NeedToSleepZZZ]

I'm trying to be laid back and take pregnancy in my stride but I can't stop thinking I might have hurt my baby and it's making me so worried.

I was gardening yesterday when I started to feel dizzy, as I have always had low blood pressure I just sat down and waited for it to pass. I then carried on when I felt as if I was going to faint. I went inside and lay on the floor with my legs raised and started getting cramps low down in my stomach. I'm just over 19 weeks and had been feeling baby move around a lot but since yesterday I haven't felt as much (still some movement though).

I rested for a few hours and then felt normal again but can't stop worrying that I've done something. How do you know what is too much and when to rest? I don't have any other children and keep telling myself that other mums have to do lots more than me and I shouldn't be giving up on doing things yet!

I'm tempted to call mw tomorrow but don't want to be a pain...

bump?

i would go to mw just to put your mind at ease like so many lovely kind people will tell you here on mn the mw are there for you to call whenever you feel anxious, happy relaxed mum = happy relaxed baby!!

I would call mw if you are worried. it doesn't sound like you were overdoing it. Hope it's all ok

Don't panic it's probably fine - but I would call the midwife because in my experience they never, ever think you're being a pain.

thank you, i think i'll call mw in the morning as couldn't sleep properly last night because felt so guilty. guess that's just part of being a parent though

is there any sort of rule of thumb as to knowing how much you can do and when to stop safely?
