Hi all, I know advice will be to call midwife I have tried but keep getting voicemail and unsure if calling delivery suit will be a bit extreme! I woke up this morning feeling generally unwell well today, VERY tired .. really short of breath and my heart is literally pounding out of my chest (not constantly but on and off) I did think maybe I'm dehydrated as I do have a horrible headache with the odd flash of white spots in my eyes. I have been really stressed these last few days and now I'm really worried :( x

Doesn't sound like this is pregnancy specific, how about calling your GP?

I think you really need to be seen OP, don't want to worry you further but I think those are symptoms of pre-eclampsia.
Hope you've got through to your midwife but if not best call the hospital (number should be on your mat notes) and get seen Flowers

You need a GP appointment, i agree with grainmum.

It also sounds like the symptoms of low iron. Worth seeing gp or midwife to check bp and do bloods.

Make sure you speak to your midwife, early pregnancy unit or gp tomorrow OP. I am sure it will turn out to be nothing, but it could be pre eclampsia which is dangerous if not picked up.

Have a google and be aware of the symptoms.

Good luck!
