Feeling yuck?

[Psychick]

I seem to be having a really off day today which is a shame because I was finally feeling the benefots of being on maternity leave and was getting a little more energy and go in me.

I wanted to get a bit of shopping done after dropping my daughter off to school this morning so took a stroll into town. But half way there I was feeling so hot and faint, undid my coat to let a bit of fresh air flow round but it didnt really help. Everytime I went into a shop, I would get so hot and start feeling sick and faint, I had to leave again. I gave up in the end and made my way home but was feeling weak and sick the whole time. I have pretty much spent most of the day laying down on the sofa and really dont feel any better for it! I have been eating and drinking to keep my fluids etc up but just feel so yuck today. Im very achy today too, especially my hips and lower back.

Any other mums get like this in late pregnancy or I either coming down with something or having an off day?

Afternoon pyschick, no I feel like that sometimes, the mind is willing but the body isn't. Its really annoying though, especially when you have plans and things to do and you just cant do them.

There is a bad cold going about so just look after yourself and pamper yourself, just in case its that.

I get spirts of energy and take full advantage of them, only problem is that the next day you pay!!!!!!!!

I hope you are feeling better tomorrow.

take care

its common hun, but doesnt make it any nicer.

Take it easy, get your feet up and have a nice cup of tea (with sugar if you havnt got GD) and a biccy.

shops at this time of year are always bad for makiing people feel dizzy and faint, with all the artificial lighting and warm air, and pregnancy makes is worse.

Sorry to hear your unwell psychick. It sounds to me like the onset of flu. If it is then you could be out of action for a few days psy. Try if you can to increase your intake of Orange juice for Vit C and plenty of rest. I really hope you get better soon.
I went to docs the other day because I've been over doing things due to Mrmountainboo doing his back in, so doc signed me off until my maternity leave starts. My employers also aren't bringing my maternity leave forward so I've got a year off now - woohoo!
Take care psychick x

Hiya ladies, sorry to hear you're feeling crap Psy (and you mboo). I've been feeling a bit funny the past few days (I'm 30 weeks now). I had a cold two weeks ago, it only lasted for about 2-3 days, but I haven't been able to sihft the congestion in my nose and am finding it hard to breathe at nighttime (I kept waking up gasping for air the other day which was a bit scary!). I know that nasal stuffiness and bleeds are common due to swollen capilleries but it is doing my head in now. The past two mornings I have felt really giddy when I wake up, I think this is probably to do with my sinuses being blocked or something - usually by lunchtime it has passed, but the nighttime and first thing in the morning it is horrible! I have routine gp appt next week so if it hasn't cleared by then I will mention it to her, but it's driving me nuts! (and my hubby who says that I am snoring like a trooper.)

And although I don't feel sick with it, I know what you mean about getting hot. The past couple of nights I have got up out of bed to feel the radiators and make sure they are not on because I have been so hot in bed I have been convinced that they are! At work I have been a lovely shade of crimson because I have been so flipping hot aswell. I am not in work tomorrow so am looking forward to a restful afternoon :-)

Have a good day, hope you're all feeling well today :-) X

Morning ladies, sorry I didnt thank you for your comments yesterday but I went to get my daughter straight after posting this and then spent the afternoon resting!

Im feeling better today and think my problem yesterday was simply tiredness, I dont sleep well at the best of times but the previous 2 nights my daughter had been getting nightmares so I was in and out seeing to her as well. Last night I fell asleep on the sofa and woke up gone 4am! As I sleep better on there than in bed, Im tempted to make that my bed for the next few weeks lol

Anyway, thank you for your kind words yesterday and I hope you are all well yourselves. Hope youre feeling better mountainboo and natalie, try sleeping propped right up if youre not already and buy Mr natalie some earplugs lol
