Advice needed please

The Dizzy spells could mean you need to take Iron pills if you aren't already, I had them as an underweight teenager, and last preg, and starting to get them again.

The backache is probably just one of those darn preggy things.

Hmmmm, Im not too sure what it is Bee, but the funny thing is that Ive been having the same thing, I started getting it at around.....maybe 34 weeks, where every night from about 6pm onwards I would get random pains and stuff, and thats where all my "False Labour" started, it go worse and worse as I got further along.
Mine was like lower backache(Caden was posterior at the time aswell) and also I was getting cervix pain and groin pain.

Im not sure about the dizzy spells though...but I would ne inclined to say maybe your Iron levels aswell?

Crap, crap, crap! Just remembered I have to take my iron pills

Could be just that things are nigglier being your second pregnancy too, I've found this pregnancy waaaay nigglier than Maya's (can't count the gremlins coz of course they were going to be a mission!)

Low iron wouldn't normally cause dizziness, extreme fatigue yes but not so much dizziness. Sometimes the dizziness is just a result of all the extra blood that is being pumped around your body to support baby, can make you a bit light headed if you stand up too quickly etc.

I'd def mention it to your midwife tho, that's what she gets paid for!

The dizziness tends to be at random moments. One minute I am walking around the house etc fine the next it is like..whoa grab onto something just in case I go down. A really random odd feeling actually. It doesn't seem to be a get up too quickly feeling of dizziness ( I get that too, but this stuff is seperate)

Tiredness wise, I am tired (But who isn't when they are pregnant LOL) and I do often have a nap each afternoon before I walk down the road to get Ethan from school.

I do take a multivitamin thing each morning (Blackmores Pregnancy and Breastfeeding Gold) that I have been on since we started ttc.

hmmmm maybe I'll give her a call, cos you guys are right, it will prob get worse tonight.

Just rung the midwife.

She thinks from the sound of things, and going by where he was at my last visit, he may be posterior on my left side.

She recommended heat packs to relive the pain, if it gets worse to call her again, but she will see me on Monday.

I was told the dizziness is either low BP or just the extra blood being pumped around. Before I was pg I always got it if I didn't eat within an hour of my normal mealtime to the point I would pass out (low blood sugar etc etc). When I was pg it was mainly at the end of the pregnancy and the m/w said that seeing as we carry something like 1 1/2 times the normal amount of blood you can often get dizzy from it pumping through your body.
