Dizzy during scans?

Does anyone else get really dizzy during their ultrasound scans? I'm having scans every 4 weeks due to being high risk. The last couple of scans I felt some dizziness but it was manageable. This morning, I had my 32 week scan and I actually nearly a passed out from the dizziness. I got really hot and sweaty. And I've felt like rubbish since then. I tried to sleep it off but still feel a bit dizzy every time I get up and stand longer than 30 seconds. Has anyone else experienced this?
I'm aware that lying on my back can put pressure on the vena cava and cause dizziness. But I'm just worried that I'm still feeling the effects of it hours later.

I would call the midwife and share it just to check. I believe it is ok, but go and check if you are worried

Ask for a wedge when you have your scans and they'll sit you upright. If they don't have a wedge they'll suggest you roll over when you feel dizzy. I have the same issues and they are always really good at looking after me ☺️

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Worth the wait and pain. Baby girl arrived at 7:15 this am weighing 7lbs 6oz. She is so calm and chill.

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

Growth scan

So had my 28 week midwife appointment- all good but after measuring bump- I’m now waiting on a scan within a few days as bump is measuring small I’m not worried as I am guessing a tape measure is hardly accurate but
For anyone who has been in a similar position- what was the outcome after the scan? Was the baby on the smaller side ?
Was baby measuring normal?

Thanks
