dizziness at 39 weeks - should i be worried?

[Tutter]

or is it more likely due to sleep deprivation???

If you can see silver bits you need to be checked.

silver bits?!

have lots of thoise floaty type things you get when you're reaaaaally tired

I'd get checked. I had dizziness with some room spin (like being very drunk) at 40 weeks, and it was a sign I was developing pre-eclampsia. I think the visual disturbance bit was more important than the dizziness, but I'd get a bp and urine check to be on the safe side.

You need to see a midwife and get checked.

Are your iron levels ok ? I understand in the third trimester- it's quite common to get low iron and dizziness and are you eating little and often to keep your blood sugra levels up ? Could be low BP too so keep your fluids up. Seriously though- If in doubt- get it checked for sure.

thanks all

was anaemic earlier int he pregnancy but have been taking spatone and levels were better last time they cheked

have had an epic sleep this afternoon and feel a bit better

my friend had this and had low platlets. Best get checked.

i did on lying on my back but you shouldnt do that shoudl you? resovled when i turned over

Lying on your left side is best for you and your bubba, blood flow at its best to the placenta and around your heart. Try a V shaped pillow too perhaps to support your back and legs

Get checked - floaty bits is a sign of pre eclampsia I'm sure. Has your BP been ok?
