Thanks smiles,

I had my blood pressure taken on Monday and it was perfectly normal. So I dont think it is that. I wont be able to get to a dr for another week and a bit unfortunately.....I hope it is nothing major thanks for your help...

HEy Skye,

I dont know if its normal or not but I have been dizzy/light headed for the past few days. I find that if I drink more water it helps. I had my bp taken last week and it was fine. I have a drs appointment on Friday so I will ask then.

I also noticed that it was a listed symptom in the 2nd trimester thread.

Hope youre feeling better soon


Cheers

Melissa

SKYE You can also get dizzy spells from low blood pressure. Though i'm pretty sure it is common to get dizzy spells in early pregnancy.

And you can also get dizzy spells from low blood sugar. So have a can of lemonade or something with sugar in it, see if that helps. I was on a can of coke every day in my first pregnancy (in the 2nd trimester) because I kept wanting to faint all the time (not helpful at work obviously!).
My blood pressure was always normal too.
HTH!

Hi Skye,
I have just done a bit of housework and I was feeling really light headed. I think that it is normal because of all the blood we are pumping through to bub at the moment. Maybe see how it goes today and if it gets to excessive go to the Dr. I'm sure all is OK.
