Feeling faint at 13 weeks

[Sunshine511]

Hi there, I've been very lucky to have had a fairly easy pregnancy so far but in the last couple of days I've found myself feeling very faint and exhausted! I was anaemic in my last pregnancy and I'm worried it could be that! I really hope not because if it's this bad already, I'd be worried what I'll be like nearer the end of pregnancy. My husband will be working away for most of my pregnancy, my family live about an 8 hour drive away and I've got a 2 year old daughter to take care of! Could this be something else that might pass? Thank you for your advice x

I was in the same position earlier this pregnancy passed out in public a couple of times but luckily dh was there with dd.
I would speak to your midwife anyway, but for me it passed when the morning sickness period was over so was gone by 15/16 weeks pretty much. Until it had passed I was just really careful where and how I took dd out- so I'd take the pram with us, stay in very public places etc.
take care OP its crappy but until it passes I'm sure you're dd won't mind watches cbeebies while you rest

Thank you so much for your reply! I so hope you're right and it passes soon! I'm feeling major guilt about my lack of energy and not being able to play so much with my dd! Trying to keep up with the housework has been a nightmare the last few days!! Hopefully I get my energy back soon! Thanks again for your reassurance x
