Light headed and tingly hands?

[Jaycee]

For the last couple of days I've been feeling a little light headed, like a dizzy spell, it only lasts for 30 seconds at a time and has probably happened around 5 times each day.

Today I have tingly hands (only way I can describe it sorry!), they feel swollen but don't look it, sorry that doesn't make much sense!

Does anyone know if this is something I should be worried about or just a normal pregnancy thing? I am 33 weeks.

Thanks

Hun I think you should get it checked out. I think of you had just one or the other it could be put down to a normal pg symptom but both together sounds iffy.

I'd be mentioning it at your next appt. if not getting checked sooner...

How's your BP been?

Being dizzy can be a sign your BP is abit low, are you drinking enough water?

Your hands.. I dont know... maybe abit of carpal tunnel sydrome?

Whens your next antenatal?

I would get that checked out hun, that doesnt sound normal.

I rang my midwife and she's asked me to come in to the hospital after work to be checked over.

She seems to think it might be stress related (I've been under an enormous amount of stress lately) but wants to me to have a thorough check to be on the safe side.

I'm a bit scared as my hands feel the same way they did the day my blood pressure was through the roof when pregnant with DS and I was admitted to hospital at 36 weeks, but the light headidness seems to point to low blood pressure, not high blood pressure so I'm not so sure.

I'll let you know how I go
