Eurgh. I keep having dizzy spells and going faint. Have fainted once but not for a week now although this has been going on 2 weeks. Im 2 weeks into iron tablets now too for very mild anaemia as in I cpuld have got away without them but due to dizziness they thought it best to be cautious.
Anyway everyday i wake around 6-7am and feel fine i dont do a lot (been signed off but back tomorrow) and by 10am i get these dizzy feelings and horrendous headaches where i end up having to lay down and try to sleep it off. I got driven home from work last weds for fainting and the midwife sent me to dau. They signed me off for a week and did say to phone back if continues but what will i gain from phoning back today? Just another 2 hours of monitoring to be sent home with no explanation. But then i feel like i should call, but i dont want to waste anyones time 😭. Is this juat going to be me from now til labour? Oh ps im 28 weeks today.

Or you go back and they monitor you and give you something more suitable to treat. Go back.

Are you eating enough? Making sure you are getting enough energy?
I fainted once due to heat, standing for too long and low blood pressure.
I am dizzy most days. I am more dizzy when I haven't eaten or drunk much.
