AnswerDear Cheryle,
First, I want to apologize for the delay in answering (PC troubles)...
Now, I am not going to presume to try and diagnose you from this forum, as that would not be appropriate. My first thought was that I would assume that they have made sure that your blood pressure is stable and within normal limits.
My immediate second thought, however, is that I would strongly suggest that you get a referral to an OB/GYN to monitor this pregnancy. If you are having shortness of breath, dizziness, consistent headache, convulsions, and loss of consciousness during your pregnancy, this is something that should be referred to a specialist in the field - an OB/GYN. I would assume that your complaints and concerns will be taken more seriously and will be followed up on more thoroughly by the specialist.
That is my definite recommendation to you. I hope this information has helped you and answered your question. I wish you well.
Brenda
