DIZZINESS.....

Iv been getting light headed and dizzy . Dr checked my iron and checked for an ear infection and it was all clear on both but I have low blood pressure which is apparently normal in pregnancy and shouldn't harm the baby and meant to clear up by 25 weeks. X

I had that same problem where I got lightheaded and started seeing “stars”. When I asked the dr about it they said my iron was low. They gave me iron pills and since then I haven’t had a problem!

I was feeling light headed couple of times throughout my pregnancy, did some blood tests it always came back I had low iron, topped up with vitamins and iron and I was fine after a while. Call your midwife and let them know. Xx

@Rachel how low was ur pressure and how did u fix the dizziness???

honestly don't remember went out my mind when he said my blood pressure was low as I instantly got worried before he reassured me it was fine . But I'm still just following drs advice of getting up slowly , not moving my head to quickly , not standing for long periods and staying hydrated. Doesn't always help as sometime I still hit with waves when not doing anything so going to be speaking to my midwife about it when I see her on Thursday . Iv been speaking to my GP about it as I didn't think it was pregnancy related at first . X

@Rachel so we have to live thru this the whole pregnancy? Lol

I'm 18 weeks today and also been getting very dizzy. My app popped up today and said it's very common at this stage and would likely be down to short term dips in blood pressure but should only last a few weeks x

I understand. Went to the Georgia state fair last night and ended up getting dizzy and passing out so listen to your body, rest and hydrate as needed and let your doctor know

how long should it last?

@Zee ❤️‍🔥 oh geez!! That's scary!+ hope ur okay!

the article said it should stop mid way through the 2nd trimester

🙏🙏🙏

I’ve been having dizzy spells as well. Yesterday was prob the worst 😭

what did u doctor say??? And when do u feel dizzy?

“drink more water” & “monitor my BP” “see ya Thursday”

I was so annoyed bc monitor my BP with what?!?! & I don’t feel like I’m hydrated enough despite drinking hella water 💀

thank you me and baby boy are fine I just came from a check up and they said I was dehydrated so I’m just upping my water intake
