I've been feeling pretty tired and rubbish for a while, since I recovered from morning sickness really. (I'm currently 27 weeks)

Thought I was unfit etc from being out of it for so long, but mentioned it to doc in case it was anaemia. He sent me for a blood test on Friday.

Today I got the results, basically a letter saying that my blood count indicates a possible viral infection and that I need to go back for another test in 3-4 weeks.

Of course now my mind is running riot ... has this happened to anyone else? I tried to Google it and it just made things worse!

PLEASE can someone advise me? I am seeing mw on Friday, should I leave it all till then? or should I try to get a doctor's appointment?

viral infection could just mean a cold thats why they want u to go back in a few weeks, if u still have it then it may b something more serious.
dont worry if they thought it was something that could endanger you or the baby they would have asked u back straight away

Thank you! That's made me feel a million times better. I have been feeling out of sorts but put it down to pregnancy stuff.

I'll stop Googling now. REALLY.
