dizziness

[mamitobe28614]

Hey ladies. I'm 36+3 weeks pregnant.  N I've been taking iron tablets for a week now as it's low. But since I have I've been feeling dizzy.  Is this normal at this stage of pregnancy.  I'm a ftm.

If you mind me asking, where are you from? I chose the drink 'Spartone' which you have to buy yourself, i get mine from boots. The side effects arent so harsh. The first few days they made my bowels a little interesting but after that it was fine :)

Yh I had my blood test done a few weeks ago n had the midwife called me back saying my iron was low but not to bad so I've been put on tablets. N I think their making me worse :/

Yeah its horrible. I did get my iron levels checked out at 35 weeks to make sure theu had gone up and they had. Maybe asked to get them checked out next week or something? They only take like 1 tube.. i started taking mine at 28 weeks though. I just feel awful like all the time. Pregnancy eh?! :|

Awww it isn't nice feeling this way. I've been fine throughout all the pregnancy just now I'm starting to feel like crap :(

I was having this problem too :( instead of tablets i take spartone but i was also told to eat every 2-3 hours and its made me feel loads better! Im 36+6. I was in hospital yesterday due to me being dizzy, headaches, hot flushes etc and the doctor said it was totally normal but as my husband says 'if in doubt, check it out!' I hope you start to feel better soon mumma!
