22 weeks - don't feel right.

I'm 22 weeks pregnant with DC2 and a history of miscarriage.

All day long I've felt dizzy and sick, and if I stand up I think I might faint. I also have a terrible pain in my lower back, like the worst period pain I've ever experienced.

I do have GD but I've checked my sugars as normal and they're all in the 4's and 5's so completely fine.

I've had bleeding on and off this pregnancy and had some yesterday morning but much less than normal so I didn't worry too much about it and it stopped.

I sort of feel rubbish enough to go to A&E but as its the weekend I just think they'll make me an appointment for Monday. I think 22 weeks is too early to ring maternity isn't it?

Any advice?

Hi everyone,

Everything's okay I think. They've told me to rest and come in for a scan tomorrow but the heart beat was fine.

My BP was a bit higher than normal but that was the panic I think.

My temperature was slightly high and I may just be coming down with something.

Thanks for all your help xx

Glad to hear the heartbeat is fine and that you've got a scan booked for tomorrow. That must be reassuring. Are you taking the instruction to rest seriously?!

Thanks so much everyone, you're all very lovely Thanks

I'm still feeling awful dizzy and faint wise so have spent the whole afternoon on the sofa watching Toy Story 1, 2 & 3 with DD... Grin

DH is going to take the day off tomorrow so he can come to my scan and give me another days rest too.

My pain is less this evening though so I'm hoping that's a good sign for tomorrow xx
