Hi I m 21 weeks pregnant , and have a few problems but I keep getting brushed off, for a start my back pain is crippling me in my hips, lower back and down my legs, no pain relief has worked. I also have no energy whatsoever but I m not anaemic. And finally yesterday night I had an episode where I was slurring my words, forgetful, My partner accused me of drinking,I had cleaned the whole house and wore myself out could it be that? I m so Ill today, I was so healthy in my last pregnancy , I feel I m getting no answers.

hi,
in case of previous delivery was by cesarean section there is chance to have adhesions they may be responsible for pain.
if pain is not getting subsided with analgesics you can go for physiotherapy.
hypoglycemia will be present during pregnancy and in addition you have cleaned the whole house that might have led to further decreased glucose levels causing blackout like features.
check your blood pressure once because high blood pressure can also lead to these type of features.
you maintain better nutrition, inspite of adequate hemoglobin if you do not take sufficient diet it can lead to anemia because of increased demand of pregnancy.
take care.
