Nausea and dizziness 37+5

Anyone else experience nausea, dizzy spells and general feeling "meh" around the 37/38 week mark?

I am fairly tired through the day, having a nap mid morning. Towards the afternoon though I start to feel nauseous and although I can still eat, I don't really fancy anything and nothing seems to sit well on my stomach.

This has been going on for the last few days and no sign of it letting up.

Hi babsie, I've been feeling like this for a good week or so (am 37+3). Did you have bad sickness at the beginning of the pregnancy? I was on anti sickness meds until about 26 weeks, and think I remember from ds's pregnancy that the nausea came back towards the end.
Have you had your blood pressure checked? Low blood pressure could be causing the dizzy spells? Also, think I read somewhere that low iron levels can contribute to dizziness and feeling meh.
Oh it's such fun isn't it Grin

The joys of pregnancy! At least I'm not on my own :-)

I didn't have much sickness at all at the start. I had a couple of spells of nausea and was sick once and I think it might have been more paranoia than actual morning sickness. Really weird to have it now - I'm back to feeling a little sensitive to certain smells.

I had my blood pressure checked on Thursday with midwife and also on Saturday at hospital and all is fine.

My iron levels haven't been checked recently,
Think last time I was 28 weeks? It was fine then but I take my pregnancy vitamin every day anyway.

Yeah, it's a pain isn't it! My blood pressure is fine too, and I'm still taking my Pregnacare so think it's just one of those things... At least we haven't got long to go Grin
