Not feeling right (Rant... and any possible advice)

Bekkiboo · Jul 6th, 2009, 09:24 AM

I just feel drained and keep getting palpitations and feeling breathless and light headed, I was reading posts and my eyes suddenly went all blurry!
Not to mention the horrible rib ache I have at the moment and the fact I have slept for the last 3 hours because of a lack of sleep last night and yet I still feel exhausted

Seriously feels like somebody has sucked all the life out of me and even typing this is taking great effort and now I am getting all emotional thinking about how utterly shit I feel.

Also I have been getting what I assume are braxton hicks frequently the last week quite a few times every day.

It's the same as with my last 2, I had pain for weeks before they arrived only this doesn't guarantee baby will be here soon because my first went naturally but my second had to be induced so this time it could go either way.

I just wish it was time.... I want my baby and I want this crap feeling to go away

Ah hun, you poor thing. I hope you're feeling a bit better today

I'm not as far along as you are, only 31 weeks, but aren't feeling great either. You should speak to your midwife, especially about being light headed and blurry vision, to put your mind at rest and see if she can suggest anything.

Take care

I hope you feel better soon, or labour is on its way, good luck.

Probably our babies draining us, iknow im slightly anaemic and on iron tablets, maybe youre the same? xx

I feel the same hun. Its crap isnt it. I feel like i'm moaning all the time now and i'm miserable and uncomfortable. I just keep telling myself its a very maximum of 4 weeks to go now and that just about keeps me going. Also the thought that i finish work on friday helps me!

Thanks ladies for all your supporting comments.... still feel like crap but I think I need to look at it as it will only be for a maximum of 3 and a half weeks if I go over... Oh pants... looking at it in writing makes it feel all the more longer LOL

Could you be suffering from dehydration / low BP - I know I feel lightheaded and crap when my BP is low.

Not long to go now...

Bekkiboo · Jul 8th, 2009, 09:26 AM

Well I have been drinking loads and have had a slight issue with MW because my BP was slightly raised.... my last appointment it was raised as well but she just kept the BP machine on my arm and kept taking readings until it had normalised.

Infact I have described the feeling to my midwife as almost like someone has taken a giant BP machine, wrapped it around my body and turned it on. Bit like what I would imagine being constricted by a giant snake would feel like
