So on and off all day, I've suddenly gone light headed as if my mind has left the room!

Have not experienced this once during my pregnancy

Also, I've JUST been led here doing nothing and out of no where I've got a pounding headache!

It takes a hell of a lot to get headaches, haven't had one in around 3-4 months

Finally, I have been getting the most horrendous ringing in my right ear, I do suffer with tinnitus however I've had it for years & it's more of a thumping than ringing, it hasn't ever changed.

Does this sound normal?!

Could it be high blood pressure? Any swelling?

I've absolutely no swelling in the obvious places, however I seem to be gaining weight even though I've reduced my diet

Lightheadedness and horrific headaches were two of my only pregnancy symptoms last year. Always worth mentioning anything that worries you to your midwife though.

I am 28 weeks and suddenly feel light headed a lot, coming over hot all of a sudden and just not 'quite there'

I think it's all the blood rushing around us!! It's a scary feeling as I feel bit out of control in some ways

I would phone the community midwife or hospital day unit today if you're suffering from headaches, it might be worth getting your blood pressure checked and urine tested for protein. Especially if you don't normally suffer from headaches that severe! Xx

Please call the midwife or the hospital today. Headaches and lightheadedness at 30 weeks pregnant need to be investigated.

Please don't wait until the 14th!

Pounding headache can be a sign of pre-eclampsia
