i used to get really lightheaded early on in this pregnancy, but it sounds a bit different with you. i know you're reluctant, but it does actually sound like something you should enquire about. i was going to say it sounds like it could be blood sugar, but if you think they're fine, i dunno.....could you visit your local GP before bringing it up with your midwife if you're worried about being transferred?
I had this when pregnant with the twins. I was trying to emigrate at the time and my GP banned me from thinking about the move for more than an hour a day. He said if I had a thought about something I had to action to write it down and deal with it at my allotted time. It really did make a difference. Obviously this was after checking that I was no anaemic, low blood pressure, etc.
It's definitely worth mentioning to your midwife, but in the absence of a physical ailment is there anything worrying you at the moment that might be stressing you out a little?
Yeah Im a bit stressed at the moment. We are trying to sell our car, buy a new one & we are also looking to buy our own place so we can get out of renting, which is just as stressful sometimes I think.
Mum2onesweetbun - I often wonder about low blood sugar, but nothing's really been wrong or out in my tests so I didn't think any more of it. Is it possible that it drops when I have one of these episodes & then would be fine most other times? Did you have specific symptoms that you noticed?
I've had tests in the past which are clear. However even before I was pregnant, I try eat low to medium GI foods and eat 6-8 small meals a day. This evens out your blood sugar levels.
My partner is hopeless because he eats one and a half large meals a day, he doesn't realise that I need to eat. So sometimes I buy a packet of jellybeans.
