Feeling awfully weak at 27 weeks

[rainand]

Hi,

Anyone near 27 weeks and feeling awfully weak? I've seen this coming but it's got to a stage where I'm going to have to take off sick. I just can't read off the computer screen anymore. I'm getting my blood test results today and I suspect my iron levels are low. Anyone else going through something similar or has been through something similar?

Hiya
Just a bit of hand holding
Are you taking your vitamins?
Maybe take some time up off and be kind to yourself

Have you had results back today?

I feel dreadful too. Am 28 weeks. Not sleeping and horrendous back ache!

As butterfly says are you taking vits?

I'm 28 weeks also and feel exactly the same
:(
Dread going into work but hey ho finishing in around 4weeks

Thank you butterflyexperience! :)

Not taking vitamins as my digestive system can't tolerate them, but I've spoken to Dr and my iron is low (10) so hopefully should get an iron transfusion once a couple of blood test results come back (have had before due to history of anaemia and other issues).

ng1412 and Shaiandbump, sorry to hear you are feeling the same. I'm finishing work at 36+4, now wishing I had requested leave much earlier!

Blood transfusion? No wonder your feeling rubbish!

Have you tried different vitamin brands?

I've only just started taking mine this week at 19 weeks and oh my gosh I feel a million times better!
Couldn't take before due to morning sickness (they were to big and making me sick)

Yep I was like death warmed up at 28 weeks turns out I was iron and b12 deficient so after tablets and injections I feel much better
