Am I being paranoid (warning TMI)

I'd give her a call anyway, to put your mind at rest if nothing else. It could just be everything moving around as bubs gets bigger and takes up more room, but nothing like getting it checked out to reassure you.

I feel a bit 'fobbed off'. I just called the back up m/w and although she was lovey and told me to stay in bed, she didnt think it was anything pregnancy related and that I should prob go and see my GP. I LOVE my GP, so am going to give them a call and see if they can see me today - I think I just want to get BP and everything checked. I had a 'faint' incident at work yesterday and DH had to come and pick me up, (I got really major hot, sweaty flush and then thought i was going to faint)....so am definitley going to go and get BP checked.

Oh no SimSam I so hear you on the fainting episodes, so not fun, interesting I had one yesterday too

I am sorry I am no help with regards to your other query, but I totally understand how scary this fainting business is!

i too had one of those near faints....about the same time! My specialist saw me straight away - well actually i told him i was busy and would come in later in day - got there and he sent me straight to auckland hosp!!! we sat on monitor and got checked out and was so reassuring to know whever was going on had cleared itself...also got made to do test for gest diabetes after that (think that was my second test!!!) just in case...

that midwife sounds useless...go doc and get him to refer you to hosp if nec...dont take any chances! I would also change the back up mw if I was you!

Hope it goes well at the Doc's, Sam. 

Simsam, we are all paranoid!! I think paranoia is actually a pregnancy hormone.

The earliest appt I could get was 3.30, so have been on the sofa all day (the cat thinks its her birthday!!!)

Am def feeling better than I did this morning, the pain in my tummy has gone from a pain to a dull ache now, but still dont feel right. DH was sweet he came home from work at lunchtime to bring me lunch and make sure I was okay.

Will let you know how we get on at the Drs! Thanks for all the support!

So Dr was great...very reassuring which is nice.

Blood pressure, urine, temperature etc all fine. He checked heartbeat, had a good feel around and couldnt find anything wrong.

Cant explain the feeling faint, upset tummy or the general unwell-ness....but somehow I feel better for having heard the heartbeat and having BP checked. He told me the things to watch out for as well.

I guess I forgot I was allowed to talk to my GP as well as my m/w....and he reminded me that they are available 24hrs, if I need them. I guess because he has been my GP for 10 years I feel pretty comfortable with him....so good to remember he is there!

(and he didnt charge me!)

He did just say take it VERY easy over the next couple of days, so a quiet weekend for us.
