Im getting so fed up with this

[melsy]

I really dont know whats going on with me and this pregnancy. Ive been constantly ill, wasnt ill for months and months before pg and now its been non stop.

Im recovering from tracheitis right now(have thread on it) , but yesterday I started feeling very odd ; nasty leg aches like growing pains, giddy and spaced out and short of breath. My mum saw me at my worst and said Id gone as white as a ghost. Ive suffered with low bp drops a few weeks ago , but it seemed to right itself recently. I also felt very dry and thirsty, so I glugged down 2 glasses , but apart from then going to the loo after about 6-7 times, the symptoms didnt really go.
Im starting to feel the same this morning and I just dont know whats going on. Im sitting at my kitchen table and the whole room is going around and around. Im just so fed up , as I cant get on with things or sort dd out, Im feeling like such a rubbish mum , dd sits in front of cbeebs every morning till nursury now , as I cant seem to cope very well. Its such a shame as I should be enjoying my last few months with her withought another littlun around.

Ive got an appt at my gp today at 11:15 , but its with a duty doc I dont even know and have a feeling theyre not going to be much help.

sorry to sound dispondant , but its just getting a bit much, Im exausted. My mums being fab , but I really feel Im putting on her to much.

You poor thing, it sounds really difficult. I would go to the doc and insist on a satisfactory explanation at least, and hopefully something that will make you feel better.

You are doing the best you can, and that is enough. None of this is your fault! Hope the doc is helpful

thank you bean sprout for your sympathy. im right blubbering and pathetic at the mo.

Do you have a 'drop in' clinic at the hospital you are booked in at? Get them to check you over properly.....

Poor you, Melsy. :( I agree with the others that you can't help being ill. It doesn't make you a bad parent!

I hope the doctor was able to give you some answers and reassurance. Hope you feel better soon. xx

Melsy hope your doctor was of help. I'm due around the same time as you and have been taking PregnaCare multivitamins and can't believe how well I feel for taking them. As soon as I forget to take them for a couple of days I get every bug going and feel really tired (and depressed).

It does sound like an iron deficiency - try the vitamins - they have iron in them.

Thankfully the gp was lovely, such a patient and caring women. Sat with me for some time and checked everything.
Bp is lower , no protein water, but she thinks I have vertigo/ menieres brought on by the tracheitis, as have a history of this problem. So has prescribed something for it(Prochlorperazine
?) , which I took at lunch time. Shes also a bit concerned that Ive lost weight and also quite teary,(she read my notes and knew of the pnd ptsd), so she wants me to come back in 2 weeks if I dont seem to be recovering.

Glad you had a lovely Doc melsy. Did she do a blood test? The depression is always a sign of my iron levels dropping. A quick check is to pull down your lower lids and if they are very white this means your lacking in iron. Get some pregnancy multi-vitamins from the chemist and try them out. I swear by them.

Of your eyes that is!!

Actually she did check my eyes and said they seemed ok. May be I should just get the pregnancare vits , cant hurt can it.

Has anyone taken anti giddy / sick pills ?? I feel like Ive been knocked sideways. Ga ga ga land central here.
