I've been suffering with dizzy spells for a while but they seem to be getting more regular and my fatigue more intense (which I know can be normal). My BP is usually 95/55 which I know doesn't help. But is anyone else in a similar boat? My main worry is that when I stand up my heart rate is increasing by 30bpm and seems to stay that way and exhausts me. Everytime I mention it the midwife just tells me it's stress 🥲

Been going through this myself! Have you been tested for low iron/low iron stores? I'd definitely speak to your midwife about this. Although some of it is just regular pregnancy symptoms for me
Yeah and apparently my iron is great? 😭 so yep it probably is just regular stuff sadly...

Today my midwife told me that racing heart and out of breath can be with low iron so ive been put on iron today its horrible feeling when it comes

It's so hard but you've got this! ❤️
I'm still struggling with fatigue and headaches even with an iron infusion. Just keep checking in with your midwife and letting her know how you feel! Won't be long until we're pp ☺️

I have this and got told I’m low on my iron stores been out on iron pills and she’s gonna do another blood test next week

Yes same. My blood pressure on Friday was 70/50 . My iron is apparently fine too! My midwife said drink more and eat more salt 🤷🏻♀️
Annoying we are all in the same boat for different reasons! Not long to go 😅🙏 and @Katie i had that too! Which is annoying as my husband has high BP and needs to eat less salt 🤣

I’ve actually just been diagnosed after having these symptoms for 7 weeks straight. I have been admitted to hospital twice for monitoring over night etc too. Waiting for a scan of my heart on the 20th March but they’ve said it’s pregnancy tachycardia! And I have low iron too.

Been going through this throughout pregnancy heart rate been 155bpm when resting, my iron stores are a 3 but I had to wait for my hemoglobian to drop below 110 for them to take action but because was on iron supplements it wasn’t dropping but when hit 3rd trimester my hemo dropped to 105 & my stores stayed at a 3 consult booked me in for iron infusion high dosage and I have to have two, always push for your iron and definitely your stores to be checked especially if sympamatic x

Is anyone else having headaches with these symptoms too?
