is this normal?

[Jayfer]

I'm 29wks and for past week I've been exhausted worse than first trimester. I've also been feeling a bit of a space cadet - the other day I felt like I was being spun round so fast I was pinned in my chair then felt like I was a balloon and floating away.

I have medical conditions which can cause fatigue so I'm not sure if its that or the pregnancy. Plus I've just had new specs and so hoping the space cadet feeling is just me getting used to it.

Is this normal?

Possible Anaemia ? Get checked by the midwife..... Blood test.

I agree with Joanne about getting tested for anaemia. At the very least, make sure you tell your midwife how you've been feeling.

Good luck.

If you are sleeping properly (ie it isn't tiredness caused by lack of sleep) then need both iron levels and thyroid checked.

Can go and see either midwife or GP - midwife can't check thyroid - but best to rule iron levels out first as this is more likely.

Thanks for the advice.
