26 weeks & feeling rubbish. Or am I ill?

Hello
Looking for some advice here as I don't know if I've got almost-third-trimester lethargy or if I'm ill and, if the latter, if its something I should worry about.
Until last week I was full of energy & really enjoying my pregnancy. Over the past week, I've just got more & more lethargic despite not having done much. Yesterday, I spent most of the day on the sofa (sometimes dozing) having parked DD on the sofa, I went to bed at 9pm, had a good nights sleep but when I woke this morning I was so knackered that I decided I couldn't go to work and, after DP had taken DD to nursery, went back to bed and slept for another 5 hours. I've been up for three hours now &, having felt OK for the first hour (during which I had some food, a shower & put some clothes & toys away), I've spent the two following hours on the sofa dozing & am thinking about getting DP to go & collect DD.
As well as the lethargy, I'm slightly light headed, have lost my appetite & am either very hot or freezing cold. I feel as though I've got the flu but don't have a runny or blocked nose. Its very confusing!
Bump didn't move much yesterday to the extent I was going to ring the hospital & see if I could got in for monitoring but woke up in the evening and has been moving as much as usual - if not a bit more- today.
Any thoughts or advice?

Have I just forgotten how rubbish this stage of pregnancy can feel?
Thanks

it probably isn't anything to worry about, but to be honest, i would see your midwife, and get them to check you over; check your bp (lethargy and light headedness) and dip your urine (lethargy, light headedness and hot and cold) to make sure it isn't anything serious. at the very least it will reassure you, and it's always better to check than wish you had Smile
