30 weeks pg and feel sick and faint when standing for too long?

[mama2moo]

Just recently when I go shopping or stand for more then 5 minutes I start to feel sick and faint.

Is this normal? I didnt have this when I was pg with dd. I had it again today and after some chocolate I felt a bit better but still have to go home and lie down.

I had this. Doctor did a full blood count and while I wasn't Anaemic, I did have low blood iron/Ferratin and needed iron tablets.

They sorted it out in a few days.

Might be worth seeing the doc and getting tested? In the meantime, lots of iron rich foods should help.

I am like this when I'm pg - I get really faint and sick (and I'm only 15/16 weeks - long way to go). With me it's a combination of low blood sugar, dehydration and low blood pressure. I find some sugar, very cold water, and fresh air helps.

Thanks, I had been drinking Floradix for extra iron because I was so tired. Maybe I will try that again to see if it helps.
