In the UK for German speaking.

What kind of costs do these tend to be?

Thank you

And light-headed/ dizzy when walking this evening.

BP 141/80

I assume normal blood sugars as have eaten today.

Hot temps early thirties (have been out and about) had periods of air conditioned car. Wore suncream, sunhat, dank at least 3l fluids.

​

Not back in the UK until next Tuesday - midwife appointment on the Thursday (25 weeks)

​

Was going to ask to check iron levels then just in case that's what is causing it. Was 14.6 last time checked at booking appointment.

​

I'm just wondering if anyone has advice? I will see how I am tomorrow when I wake up.

​

But I wondered if I should try OTC iron supplements in the meantime? Or would this warrant medical investigation now while I'm overseas?

​

No other red flag symptoms apart from a bit more sob but put that down to heat.

​

Just wondering what you all would do.

Following on from a previous post that I hate talking about pregnancy....

How do I tell family members that I don't need them to tell me not to do things, or to not randomly touch or stare at me.

I feel like I've reacted in a terrible way.

Step mum told me not to lift a shopping bag out of the car and I just snapped saying for god sake I can lift a shopping bag out of the car.

Dad touched my belly without asking and it was awkward and made me feel uncomfortable and I did not say anything at the time. And he also randomly stares at me without saying anything.

I know he's excited. And doesn't live close by so probably keen to just be around me but it's so cringe and uncomfortable and know I have acted strange around them both, like I don't know how to explain, not in a happy way, I feel bad, I'm an adult and can't seem to get my emotions under control.

I just want to be treated normally. I feel so uncomfortable talking about things, having people telling me to be careful and I certainly don't want people touching my belly.

But now I don't know even how to address these things without upsetting anyone.

Should I wait until I see them again in person and discuss it then, send them a message?

Do think I should talk to midwife about these feelings? Is this the beginning of perinatal MH?
