New to posting!

Hi everyone,

I have never posted on a forum before but after reading so many of your posts and journeys in the last few months I felt I had to (and wanted to!).

I am 27 weeks and 4 days pregnant. We were without net for the last 3 months but in the first trimester it really helped to read people had such similar worries, so thank you all, even though I never posted!!

All has been well and generally loving being pregnant but been off work last 2 days as have very low blood pressure and v v dizzy. Feel so guilty not being at work...am a primary special needs teacher and it's hard to start putting myself before the kids I teach... but I know that's what I have to do.

So hi everyone! And sorry for not posting before!!! maybe you'll hear a bit more from me in the next 13 weeks (only 13 weeks?!!)

Welcome to the forum! Have you had your blood tests done? could be low iron levels if it isnt just low blood pressure. Hope you feel better soon x

Hi minchin! Hope you enjoy your 3rd tri. xxx

Thanks everyone!

Blood tests next week, gp yesterday said just low bp and said make sure have lots of fluids and lots of rest. Have naturally low bp which has just gone much lower so think I may just have to get used to feeling dizzy and try to take it a bit easier!

You guys are gonna have to help me out with some forum etiquette (sp!) - is it usual to thank ALL posts in reply or just some? Didn't realise how tricky posting would be!

(notice lack of abbreviations or pictures/smileys...- yet to get the hang of these!!)

Hi Minchin

I'm only a week behind you so next few months will be fun!
i read these posts flat out in my first 10 weeks as i was bleeding and could do little else. They were a Godsend.
don't think of it as putting yourself before the kids but think about your little baby in there
Hope youre feeling better soon
