early pregnancy dizziness and shakes

[themumfairy]

I'm pregnant with #3 after a 6 year gap. I'm only 5 weeks and have been suffering with dizzy spells. however the last couple of days the dizziness is made worse with rapid heartbeat and the shakes. I go boiling hot. I don't feel like I'm going to faint but I feel bad enough. is this normal as I didn't have it in either of my other pregnancies.

Whilst I'm sure it's no doubt common I wouldn't say it is 'normal' and advise you to get checked out by your MW/GP.

Have you had your blood pressure taken recently?

I've rang my midwife but I'm still waiting for an appointment. it's all changed since I had my other 2, with them I'd see the doctor first and he'd check BP and double check my urine. now you don't even see the doctor before the midwife contacts you. I'll go to doctors tomorrow x
