Felt fine during this pregnancy up until now. On Saturday i felt very unwell very quickly and fainted. Since then `i just feel exhausted. I have a cold so that isn't helping. Day 2 of being off work. Is this normal? I there anything I can do? Trying to eat sensibly but all i want are spicy crisps and biscuits...

The cold might be making you feel especially drained, or you could be a bit short of iron. Try eating some beans, nuts, dried fruit or fortified breakfast cereal. There's more information about feeling faint here

I am 27 +3 and I am exhausted, I just can't stay awake during the day yet I feel like i'm sleeping at night apart from the odd wee break! I have been going to yoga but i don't think its helping much. But maybe it will in a few weeks! You're not alone girl xx

Could be anemic, try having a big steak. Should think they'll do a blood test at 28 weeks anyway for anemia.

I went through a phase of being exhausted falling asleep at 7/8. As soon as i started on tablets i felt like me again you should definitely speak to your midwife/doc about checking levels.
