32weeks, dizzyness - urgent

[Glamoreyez]

Thanks girls. I rang the hospital and they said to lie down and drink heaps of fluids and if I don't feel any better in a few hours to go get my blood pressure checked.
So I have stayed in bed all afternoon and feel a little better but now I have the runs - oh the joys! So I'd say I probably have a virus...
Thanks again!

I hope you start feeling better soon missbec!

Bec, I have the same problem on the odd occasion.

There's no warning and nothing after. You just have a massive dizzy spell and the world seriously turns.

I had the same thing with Daniel - but in the first trimester. This time it's in the third only, so dunno.

I was just sitting watching tele the other day and the room started spinning. I thought, "Thank God I wasn't standing!" I would have gone down.

I've had the same problem from about 31 weeks...

I recommend going to hosp for a checkup just to put your mind at ease, but in my case they could find no reason for it besides the fact that maybe I had been overdoing it a bit. I have slowed down a bit & the dizziness has improved, although when I get stressed, without fail I feel dizzy...so there might be something in that! (I kinda thought it might be something they said cause they didn't know, kwim?)

Could be low blood pressure, low iron or a virus...none of those applied in my case.

Hope you feel better soon

I had a similiar thing last friday arvo, my husband took me straight to hospital and it turned out I had a virus, they also said I was badly dehydrated.

Drink plenty of water and if you don't feel any better, I would suggest go to hospital.
