    Dizziness

    Hi!
    I have been feeling quite dizzy this week. I do have low blood pressure, but this dizziness seems to be more associated with headaches. I had a migraine although it was not the worst I've had, which was lucky as I had my two kids with me, but it doesn't seem to have totally gone. Just wondering if anyone else has had this in pregnancy?
    Im seeing my Ob today, so will ask him, but just wanted to know if this was "normal". I know for sure migraine's are, but the dizziness is a bit weird.
    Thanks xo

    Hey webbmeg!

    I've been feeling quite dizzy at times too. I'm not sure what it means - I'd be interested to hear what your Obs says!

    Yep I had it at around 20 weeks too...my OB said it is normal and to lie down if I got dizzy. It eventually went away in about 2 weeks.

    Hope you feel better soon!

    P.s I had low blood pressure, low iron and I suffer migraines.

    Hi, this pregnancy and last I got heaps headaches in my 2nd trimester and occasional migraines, they are horrible. And the migraines can bring on the dizziness, blurred vision etc.
    I also get dizziness constantly, considering my BP rarely gets above 90/55 when preg its not surprising.

    Hi.
    I only suffer migraines while I'm pg.
    I had dizziness & it was due to low iron. I had to take supplements.
    Talk to your doc & go from there.
    Good luck.

    Yeah Im actually having alot of headaches and dizziness. I might see my doctor about iron. I dont really eat alot of meat (used to be a vegetarian) but I havnt had any issues until I was pregnant.

    Thanks
