Should I be concerned about these symptoms?

Not sure if I'm making a mountain of a molehill and would appreciate any advice/similar experiences. Currently 28 + 6.

Over the past week, I have experienced:

Extreme tiredness in the afternoon, from about 1-5pm
Diarrhoea on and off
Very thirsty
Food tasting salty (?)

Today I've also felt a bit faint/lightheaded.

Had bloods about four weeks ago as I was concerned about anaemia. Results came back as borderline, but treatment not required at that stage.

Thanks in advance.

Hmm. Not sure if all the symptoms are related but have you been tested for gestational diabetes? Alternatively a tummy bug could be behind all that. Definitely get a drs appointment if you’re worried though.

@Merryclaire I haven't, but I will mention it to my midwife I think. I haven't suffered with it in previous pregnancies, but I guess it isn't beyond the realms of possibility.

Thank you.
