Does this sound like anemia?

[ontheedgeofwhatever]

I'm nearly 30+6. for the last couple of weeks I've been sleeping upwards of 18 hours a day, feeling breathless and a bit dizzy when trying to complete simple tasks - e.g. hanging up washing or cooking dinner and generally completely exhausted the rest of the time even when sitting down mumsnetting. Its crap for DD1 and DP.

I've got a doctors appointment for tomorrow booked on Thursday (damned bank holidays) but feeling so worried and useless

Sorry I am 30+6 was going to write nearly 31 weeks

Yes, it sounds like anemia. I was feeling very similar, but also getting heart palpatations and once they started me on iron tablets within around 1 week I started feeling much better. Good luck and I hope it's only iron you need! :)

Thanks Samra that's reassuring. I keep imagining terrible things

The midwife called up and got the results of blood test earlier and my iron stores are definately well below par. She's started me on iron tablets right away so hoping it will help
