Hey ladies, just wondering if anyone as experienced distance spells, nearly fainting? I did earlier with a massive head ache everything was going spotty and going really dark was scary. �� X

 

[Tonks82]

Omg yes 3 times over the weekend my vision went all dark then I got a massive head rush and heart palpitations it's horrible. Even after it passed I felt so nauseous for ages after. Every now and then I also get really tight chest or breathlessness even if just sitting at my desk. I'm not sure if it's braxton hicks, anxiety or linked to these palpitation episodes.
I've got midwife Wednesday so I'm going to bring it up.

The whole thing is highly unpleasant X

 

[Ikklemoi]

Awe Tonks I hope your ok, there very scary I was out at chip shop and felt really bad, my sister had to pay for my stuff etc. The anxiety is through the roof mainly at night 10 onwards for some reason and up until gone 2 have to be up at half 5 6 with my other boys. This stage am finding harder than the morning sickness and it's ment to be easiest time 2nd trimester ain't it. Good luck for the midwife, my next appointment is at 28weeks, so another 5weeks to go ��. Gonna see nurse or something tomorrow tho and ask advice if a still feel the same. X

I felt really dizzy today for the first time. I was just sat at the table. When I thought about it I hadn't had much to drink, so maybe I was dehydrated. It can't have helped... Xxx

 

[Ikklemoi]

Aww baby frog I'm wondering if it's a normal thing to feel in second tri, not been like this with my others and this is my 5th baby. I've read dyhydrarion can cause dizzy spells aswell as heat etc. Hope ur ok x

 

[BabyFrog]

I'm fine, just been more aware of needing to drink more often! Hope you're okay too xxx

I got a lot of dizziness in my last pregnancy. My MW said it was probably related to drops in blood pressure. What I read said a drop in bp is common in the 2nd tri. It is caused by the fact that your blood vessels expand to allow for the extra blood you need during pregnancy but your blood volume can take a while to catch up so it leaves you with low bp. Tward the end of tri 2 bp usually gets higher. Along with low bp I got anemic which added to the dizziness and make my pulse race and made it feel like my heart was pounding.

 

[Slb24]

Hello ladies. I hope everyone's okay. Haven't been on for a while. Haven't had a chance to catch up fully.
Dizzy spells are completely normal. I had them really bad with my first. I've had a few this time.

Anyone's little one pushing on there bladder? It's driving me mad! I need to pee every 5 minutes and when she kicks my bladder I feel as though I'm going to wet myself!
Any idea how I can shift baby? she's been like this for about 2 weeks and it's only going to get worse as she gets bigger
Xx

 

[BabyFrog]

I've been needing to wee loads! I'm only 21 weeks (22 tomorrow) so I thought it was a bit early? Glad to hear I'm not the only one, I was starting to worry I had a lazy bladder. I'm up three times a night almost every night

Probably a silly question, but where is the bladder? I feel like baby is quite low, is that where the bladder is?

[Ikklemoi]

Hey ladies, the midwife wants me to come into hospital to be checked out, with having headaches a lot and the dizziness etc yesterday, think it's to rule out pre clampsia in all fairness. She asked if a felt baby move a lot which a don't with having placenta anterior. X

 

[BabyFrog]

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, it'll all be fine I'm sure Postivite thinking xxx

 

[mummywanabe]

Hope all is well icklemoi, I barely felt baby move yesterday and was a little worried, but thankfully she's moving about a good bit today, I have the midwife at 2pm, hoping she can help me the pain I'm having in my back and hips is unreal!, I've had to call into work sick, as I have a physically demanding job I just can't cope with it at the minute

 

[cornishfairy]

Ikklemoi I had a lot of dizzinessiin tri1 which the mw said was down to low BP which seems to have gone mostly now. Hope yours doesn't last too long, and yours Tonks!

Had my 20w scan yesterday (as last!) and.... it's a boy!!! So double trouble in our house with two little chaps running around Starting to feel more real now I know what we're having and I'm getting really excited now! X

 

[Mexico2014]

Congratulations Cornish!!

 

[Ikklemoi]

Oooo congrats Cornish another boy for Dec mummies ����. I was at the hospital over 4hours my blood pressure was slightly higher than it should be and a plus of protein but nothing wrong with that the midwife said. Saw the consultant and he said I nearly passed out because of my bad migraines and prescribed me co codramol to see if they help. X

 

[mummywanabe]

Just saw this picture and cried, it's a mum hugging her youngest child before giving birth to the next one I feel really emotional about this stuff my little boy is 3 at the stage where he's started giving me kisses and telling me he loves me he will always be my baby boy, a little sad he won't be the baby anymore, anxious and scared how the family will change and I'll have to stay I. Hospital for a few days, I've been trying to prepare him for that, how do I prepare a 3 year old when I'm not prepared myself for the big changes

 

[Ikklemoi]

Awe mummy I've a 3 year old that's my youngest little boy, he doesn't fully understand and says he wants to go inside my belly ache to be my baby bless him. I think kids adapt more than we realise. I'm buying things for my boys from my little one for when he gets home from hospital, something special for them don't want them thinking baby is getting all presents and attention off of the visitors we get etc. X

 

[BunnyN]

Thats such a sweet picture. DD adapted super well to her little brother. Within a few days she would get worried about were he was when he was down for a nap or anything. Now Im expecting our 3rd and still feel sad that DS wont be my baby any more. I think that is because he is such a cuddly mummies boy. DD was always daddies girl.

 

[Tonks82]

I'd love to get a pic like this before I have bubba no2.
Really I feel totally opposite I'm so excited for my little boy to have a little brother. I don't know why but I don't think of him as my baby anymore anyway. My mums already saying things like he'll be so jealous once baby is here it annoys me!! Maybe he will but what's the point in telling me that.

Xxxx

 

[Tonks82]

Hows everyone doing in the heat? I'm struggling it makes me feel so sick!
