Am I ill or is it just pregnancy symptoms?

[Holly94]

I'm 11+3 and the sickness isn't as bad as it used to be however if I'm stood up for a while not moving around (happens in my job sometimes as a sales assistant) I will suddenly get really hot, like a hot flush and a wave of nausea and have to run to the toilet.
If its my day off and I don't do much, I tend to be fine but if I'm at work moving about/we go out for the day then by about mid morning I feel really 'out of it'. I can't really describe it I just feel really spaced out like I'm not all there, and my body feels really heavy and lethargic to move, and I get headaches.
If I'm at work I'm so exhausted I need to sleep when I get in from work, and if we go anywhere I need a nap about 3 pm!
It's ridiculous, I'm an adult and I shouldn't be needing sleeps through the day.
Is it just being pregnant or could I be ill, ie anemic?

Sounds perfectly normal, sometimes u may need two naps! It does die off but comes back in later stages again

Exact same thing happens to me sometimes hun. Its just one of the joys of pregnancy lol. Keep hydrated cause the heat will make it worse and dont feel bad about havin to take 5 mins out at work to sit an have a drink. Xx

Thank you, yep need a water bottle with me at all times! Get so thirsty so quickly! Glad it's normal, I sometimes feel so rubbish I just wonder if its the pregnancy or if I'm actually ill.

it will pass soon :) your MW will be able to tell from ur urine samples if theres anythin to worr about xx

Thanks, what can they tell from the urine? Is it just diabetes? Xx

I think they check for iron levels as well, with urine. I think

All your symptoms sound exactly like what i am experiencing at the mo and i was wondering the same thing - am i ill?!?!

Some days i'm fine (ish) and other days i'm useless. I'm 13+6, and hoping the wonderful legendry '2nd trimetser improvement' will kick in soon.

Yeah she can.check protein, iron, sugar etc in.urine :). Youl be fine hun its normal. It seems to be a lot worse for me in the heat but it passes. I was at a carboot last week an nearly passed out. Went white and had a huge rush of nausea and heat. Head completely went west. Had a sugary drink and was fine after :). Im 21 weeks tomoz and its improving. Jus have bad.tummy pains atm.cause of bump growing and cant stop peeing!!!!
