i dont feel well and i cant stop shaking

[OnlyWantsOneTwoAndThree]

i feel very wobbly and faint and hands and arms all gittery

sat down with sandwich and cup of tea, glass of water still feel terrible

arghhhh this is horrid

I'd phone your GP tbh, if it persists?

How many weeks are you?

31 weeks

Phone your midwife team, it sounds like low blood pressure. Try lying down but please also call for help.

Hmm, I would give your gp/midwife a call. I used to get shakey/faint/sick. Was nothing they could do and lasted most of pregnancy on and off, but I think as its not been a regular thing for your pregnancy you should have a chat with them. Hope you feel better soon.

Laying on the sofa feeling very faint and sick. Have tried calling midwife and goes to answer phone on her mobile

I would ring GP, or even ring hospital ante natal clinic and see what they suggest. Might suggest GP but worth a try.

I agree. Ring gp.

GP going to call me. Receptionist was very curt I can't drive down there (drs is 1/2 hour away)

Urgh. Dd2 has just trashed the sitting room. I can't get up.

Leave a message on your midwives mobile to get back to you, as well.

Tell doctors you need someone to come and see you ASAP as you have dependable young children in the house and they could get hurt themselves and would be upset etc if you actually faint

Are you ok OP?

I feel exhausted
Neither the doc or the MW called me back

Are you serious? call the doctor now and make sure you egt to speak to someone. tell them you don't feel safe to drive down there and and make a complaint that no one called you back yesterday. good luck!

That's appalling.
Agree with mrswee.

On the Due on August thread, there's been quite a few of us with similar feelings. Saw mw yesterday and was told it was low blood pressure and I'd have to sit down when feeling faint etc I also got jittery this morning and couldn't speak very loudly too.
Also on iron supplements too as anemia seems to be common around this time. Have you had your 28 weeks bloods taken and received the results?
I would get the receptionist to make your doctor call you, I find a little cry helps at them and that's the only time I can then speak to my GP - crazy!
Hope you feel better soon and get it checked out asap

Sometimes the NHS is utter shit! Dont let them palm you off!

i took my own BP with my dad's BP machine and its 100/60

I feel fucking terrible, like ive had some virus thats flawed me, i ache all over and literally standing up takes all my effort

kids are practically fending for themselves

That's what my bp is normally and throughout any pregnancies, however it is the lowest it can be before they worry and if that isn't normal for you you will feel like crap. What is your bp normally?

Booking in appointment my BP was 150/90

Haven't had it done since though

DP is finally home and looking after me sodding off out taking the dog for a walk

I don't mean to sound harsh but there is clearly a need for you to be checked out by a doctor or midwife urgently. If I was you, I'd be straight up to A&E or at least on the phone to NHS24 for advice. It may be something, it may be nothing but I wouldn't risk leaving it any longer.

I would phone your delivery unit or whatever your 24 hour maternity service is. Number should be on your notes. They should listen and can refer you on if necessary. Poor you, hope you feel better soon.

Yes do get it checked that's a huge drop.

is it really a big drop?

oh, crapsies

i just want to stay in bed :(

Day assessment unit. Now. And when you're feeling better complain to the superintendent of midwives about your shit mw not returning your call.
