Bluegoat Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I have an appointment for next week for my first prenatal. I am feeling really under the weather though, a bit lightheaded and cramps and I've had some spotting which is not usually a thing for me. But I'll have to go to the duty clinic so I probably won't see my gp. I've also just had a really bad cold which may be why I fel off. I just hate going for a silly reason especially to the duty clinic which is for things that can't wait. I can't seem to make a decision.

AK_Mom4 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I think you should trust your gut on this one - if you are early on in pregnancy and are "feeling off", then go to the duty clinic and get checked out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoobie Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Have you eaten enough today? Are the cramps more on one side? Cramping plus spotting would worry me, assuming you're talking about being early in pregnancy. Is there an OB on call at the duty clinic? Feel better. :grouphug: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrairieSong Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I would call and talk to your doctor or one if the nurses and tell them your symptoms. They may want to see you sooner. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I think you should go. Better safe than sorry. :grouphug: ANd hydrate well. Cramps can be brought on by dehydration. Hope all is well. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluegoat Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 Well I guess I will give them a call. There won't be an OB there if it is something more serious they will send me to the local hospital. Gps do normal well women care in our system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie G Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Hope you were able to be seen today- and that everything is ok. Feeling lightheaded is enough to warrant a visit- I don't like worrying about passing out or falling and injuring myself. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluegoat Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 I didn't get in yesterday, as dh was late home. I couldn't see waiting at the ER for hours, if I need to go its a few minutes away. I'll see if I feel better today and go this evening if not. My appointment is Monday in any case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
