Dizziness

Yes I am. I think my sinuses / hayfever might be contributing. Have you had your iron tested?

no I was thinking it could be my iron levels. I’ll contact my midwife on Monday I think

Yeah there’s no harm getting a test just in case you’re running a bit anaemic

I suffered mildly with my first baby, but this time round I've got the whole motion sickness, dizziness and feeling faint happening almost every couple of days, I got tested for low iron etc and it all came back fine 🫠
Apparently it can be just a symptom in the second trimester xx

Are you eating enough? I get dizzy a little bit sometimes when I haven’t eaten enough which I think is due to low blood sugar!

I get this. Especially when I stand up from sitting too quickly.

I get this aswell gunna mention it to my midwife on Tuesday see what she says

I’m 22 weeks 4 days and I’ve been having dizziness for two weeks and severe headaches for a week that won’t go away I went to the hospital last night and they told me I have a low iron deficiency

I had it with my first baby as well and all my tests were fine. Will get checked again but last time they couldn’t get to the bottom of it and just blamed it on my uterus pushing against my blood vessels

did they give you anything for it? I had this same symptom with my first baby and all my bloods etc were fine. Just find it weird why it’s all of a sudden started again

yeah it’s constant rather than my blood sugars being low. It’s more like lightheaded/ feeling like I’m floating rather than actually being dizzy. It’s a weird feeling

I’m 33 weeks and I get blurred vision often, and feel quite dizzy often. I do think it’s all normal and I’m having regular midwife appointments and I tell her .. so I guess it’s all normal x

sounds like you have preeclampsia

Just having me take iron supplements

I experienced dizziness and they put me on iron tablets as my levels were low. Definitely was the case. I sometimes get light headed when stretching in exercise and put my head up and down or when I have my arms / weights over my head!

thanks I’ll get my levels checked next week just in case.
