Q: symptoms unrelated to pregnancy
asked by: DoctorQuestion on June 11th, 2009
I am 33 weeks pregnant, and I have a loss of appetite, faint, nauseasous, and have headaches every now and then; and I also feel the baby moving not as much, and when I go to the bathroom after I pee it looks like it's diluted, and not completely yellow. I cramp a lot and I have pelvic pain, and when I tell the doctor them thing that I am emotionally disturbed, and they think that my iron level maybe down. I don't know what else to do. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks.

The symptoms you reported (loss of appetite, nauseous, pelvic pain and cramps) are not specific enough for any definitive diagnosis to be given. As a matter of fact, many of the symptoms are commonly found in women in pregnancy and do not have any significant meaning.

The fainting, the headache, and the nausea might be related to low blood pressure that causes insufficient blood supply, especially in areas of the body like the head. They might also be related to insufficient blood capability for oxygen transport. The last might be caused by anemia.


You might want to visit your gynecologist to check your blood work and to have a physical examination and ultrasound scan to check the health of the baby in order to rule out any serious causes for the cramps.
