fainting and night swats..mmm nice.
Hi all..
i'm here for all you lovely ladies advice again please! I've been i'll with a fluey thing for about a month now and put my constant night sweats and feeling dizzy and breathless down to that, but for the past week all my other symptoms have gone and i just still feel awful. I fainted yesterday trying to put some clothes away, and keep coming over all faint doing random things, and it comes from feeling like i can't get enough air. I also wake up every morning drenched in sweat, but i'm not hot, (we never keep the heating on and i sleep in a shorts and vest!) and was just wondering if this is normal in pregnancy or if i should get checked out?
I do have an existing heart condition, but have yet to receive my consultant appointment regarding this..my blood pressure is fine and i'm not anemic. I know all the books say dizziness is common in pregnany but it dosn't occur just after i stand up but at very random times, like earlier when i was trying to make a sandwhich! Any advice would be appreciated, i don't really want to bother my doctor or midwife with common concerns! Thanks.xxx

Its nothing to worry about so much as its a bit of a nuisance! I'm 40+1 now and its seemed to calm down when I was about 30 weeks and then my blood pressure started increasing slightly.
How far on are you?

Not so much excited anymore about my impending labour as I am fed up!! I was due yesterday and really thought my lo would have arrived by now but had no signs of anything going to happen and really feeling sorry for myself now!!
When is your due date? Are you going to find out what you are having?

Gelfling - i don't blame you being fed up..i can't imagine how i'll feel at 40 weeks waiting around but i'm guessing it will be pretty horrible! My due date is 17th aug, and have our 20 week scan on 3rd april. Yes we are going to find out what we're having now..me and my husband were originally planning to keep it as a surprise but as the weeks have passed we can't resist knowing and it gives me something closer than august to look forward to! Do you know what you're having??xx
