I'm 37+2 sorry for TMI but has anyone else been really dizzy at this point and has lots of lose stools. Wondering if this is an early sign of sign of my baby coming or If I'm just overthinking everything. Thanks!

I’d contact your midwife, feeling dizzy could be a sign of pre-eclampsia, definitely best to get checked. The loose stools can be a sign that labour is soon but I’ve been having it for the last week and a half and not even close to baby showing signs of coming , I’m 39 weeks.

@Oneandabean ah thankyou! I did do my blood pressure yesterday as I had a machine and read about this but my blood pressure was fine. Seems like I could be like this for a while then! Good luck with yours hope you're not waiting to long!

The whole dizzy thing could be a sign I've been told, so is the loose stools, but it could still be a week or until baby arrives. Just your body working extra hard at the moment, you need plenty rest and food/water

I’ve posted something similar, I’m 33 weeks and have had the same for about a week so hoping it’s not early labour!
I spoke to the midwife on Tuesday and she said likely that both dizziness and increased toilet visits are due to a hormone increase. But definitely worth a phone call if you’re worried! X

@OnNaturesCourse @dinosaur17 thanks so much! I really hope it is her getting ready as I'm so uncomfortable now! Haha I'm just going to keep resting and if it carries on will ring the midwife.
