Ladies please help/advise me. This is my 5th pregnancy and will be my 5th c-section. I am somewhere between 10+1 and 11+4 and hav my 12 week scan on 26th this month. The problem is this....... I started to feel light headed just before I found out I was pregnant, this has got worse each week to the point i have spent the past 3 weeks on the sofa only getting up to go to the toilet/wash etc and sometimes need help doing that. If i stand for more than a minute i get so light headed i feel like im going to pass out and very sick. I have just brushed my teeth which has resulted in me almost fainting and being sick 3 times whilst recovering. I am in constant pain and sickness all day long (the pregnancy seems to have triggered my sunusitis which is giving me very bad headaches and nose pains to the left side of my head).
This is really affecting my life now, im unable to be a proper mum, my older daughter is having to take my younger one to school for me and my husband is having to work full time then cook and clean when he gets home. Ive not managed to see dr yet because i really cant make it there and husband works shifts but tbh our dr is pretty rubbish.
Ive never had sickness like this in pregnancy before never this bad and never not been able to stand like this, i cant imagine going another 29 weeks like this, its already making me depressed, im in constant pain and sickness. Has anyone had this before, is it normal or is something wrong?

Phone the doctor and get them to do a home visit. I once had labrynthitis and could not stay upright and had the doctor out. My husband tore a ligament in his back, couldn't get up and also had the doctor out; that is why they have a whole section of the day when they do home visits. Have you had no contact with a medical professional at all? Maybe this is just normal for you but to be honest it sounds a bit scary and if it was me I would have had the doctor out weeks ago. Good luck x

Hope you get it sorted soon tea bag.

I'm still bloated peonie - no one is going to be surprised at all when I tell them - I look about 4 months! But it's not uncomfortable anymore.
Maybe my muscles have just stretched now!

Can't complain because peopl have it a lot lot worse, been pretty lucky I think.

Any spotting today? Have you told your GP yet? I'm wait to have my scan first x

Six weeks for you today as well!! I'm 6+2. Crazy Wonderful isn't it!! I've spent so long ttc I'm finding it weird to start to think it might be over... That I've actually moved forward...

Tea bag you need to call the nhs helpline, go to a&e or get a dr called out.

Even if you are very sick it's not normal to not to be able to stand up without feeling faint. You really need to get checked out.

I felt sick or was vomiting all day & that can be 'normal' but I wasn't dizzy. And being dizzy isn't necessarily caused by being pregnant so you need to find out what it is.

Just start brown spotting what do I do? Wait and see if it gets worse?

Hugs Laila. I don't really know what you do - maybe call NHS 111? I found them quite helpful. You get assessed by someone, and then a midwife called me back in about 10 minutes.

I called 111, now waiting for a call back. It's nothing major at the moment but terrified it's the start of something

Spoke to Dr, she said ring the GP on monday and ask for a scan. She said it was really common which helped a bit. I know lots of people on here say it's common but it's good to hear from a Dr if that makes sense.

She said if it gets worse or I'm in pain to go A&E but fingers crossed it seems to have stopped as quickly as it came. Guess it's just a waiting game now
