Well i just had a really funny turn Iv been havin some painful braxton hicks these last cpl of days, but 2day they reduced me to tears, then as I sat down at the laptop, I all of a sudden came over feelin sick, shaking, feeling like I needed to go the the toilet, really dizzy (to the extent I thought I was gona faint ) & lastly a thin film of perspiration appeared over my face I was so hot!

Iv opened al the windows now, & am suckin as ice lolly to try brig my temp back down but I was just wondering if any1 else has experienced anything similar??? It really scared the hell out of me! Now im not feeling dizzy im off for a cool bath.

Could be related to your blood pressure- I had a couple of episodes like that when pregnant too. Call your mid wife team for a wee bit of reassurance. Just really make sure that bath is cool too as that can sometimes bring about a drop in blood pressure too. x

My sister is something like 37 weeks pregnant.

Since the hot weather she's been in a right state, bless her. Last week her ankles and wrists swelled up, and the Braxton Hicks were so painful she went up to hospital just to get checked out. They took bloods and hooked her up the monitor.

The baby's heart beat was abit high but my sister was sent home and told to rest. Hard when she has a 20 month old to run after!

I remember being pregnant with Max. It was the hottest summer in the UK for years. I ate loads of ice cream, kept in a cool environment and drank loads. I remember feeling tired all the time.

I hope you're okay now, Pink. Try and keep as cool as possible.
