You would think with this pregnancy being baby #5 I would know the ins and outs of everything by now but this is a new one on me. I'm 12+2 and I've woken at 3am this morning with bad light headedness, it's there wether I'm sat, stood, laying etc I've also got on and off headaches. I'm a natural worrier but I'm more worried as I'm a high risk pregnancy due to family medical problems such as blood pressure, diabetes, blood clots among other things.
I know the natural thing would be to call my GP which I'm going to do at 8am but it's their first day back after the Xmas holidays and I know the phone lines are going to be jammed and the chances of getting an appointment are going to be slim to none. I was due in work at 6am but have had to tell them I can't come in, I can't drive feeling like this to get to work so have no choice but to take the day off and now I feel guilty for letting them down. Anybody else had this at this stage of pregnancy and all been OK or is it something I need to worry about.
FYI I do have very slight low iron, low end of normal range is 115 and mine is 113 so barely anaemic so can't see it being that causing it.
