Relle you really should go to the dr!! I think you may have low iron (haemoglobin) too. I had the same symptoms up until about a month ago. I lost alot of blood during birth and despite three blood transfusions, I still had low iron stores. I have been on iron and vit.c (helps absorb iron) and eating meat regularly (I usually only have it once a week if that) and only recently I have been feeling more normal. I am still low in energy, but that might be due to being up 2-3 times a night, and it will come back in time and with more sleep....
Apparently in about 7 months I will be a qualified midwife - yikes!

awww MG - thankyou so much for the thought babe, but honestly I would never impose my feral children onto anyone unsuspecting! lmao
Bath I would have to say it is an unpleasant feeling, sort of as if you are going to faint but not quite, but you can't stop it either iykwim. I get alot of pins and needles mainly in my hands, alot at night, not in feet much, just the usual if you have been sitting funny for a period of time.
I will try and go to the doctors on friday, that way I only have 2 kids with me as Campbell is in creche and the other two can be restrained in the pram!
I have actually been worried about Angus' feeding as well, and after talking to a wonderful mentor of mine today, I think this is my body giving me a huge warning to slow down a bit. Angus has been reaaly fussy on the breast and I need to slow down and sort that out as well.
Best I get this sorted quickly, cause I am back on call for a birth at the end of the week!
