    Your symptoms may be that you have low BP.

    i had high BP from when i was 6 weeks PG with DS & i really didn't feel any different to normal. this time round my BP has been behaving so far but i did have headaches early on & felt generally crap. they usually really start worrying if the headaches are accompanied with swelling and/or visual disturbances.

    the symptoms could just be general PG things & because it's been quite warm for a few days. have you been drinking lots of water & taking it easy? (i sound like my mum now ). but if you're worried then i think it's always worth a call to the nurse on call number or to the hospital just to be on the safe side.

    Thanks, DH is on standby til 6pm so I can't really do anything til then.

    I've felt pretty dizzy the last few days, too.
    Maybe it is low blood pressure. I'll try and drink more, I have been drinking a bit.

    Can low BP affect bubs?

    If you are feeling really unwell, get DH to get someone to cover him for a couple of hours and get checked out.

    Maybe give Nurse On Call a ring 1300 60 60 24
