dizzy

[Jessika]

any one else feeling really dizzy at the moment??

have you checked your blood pressure is normal? low (or extremely high) BP can make you feel dizzy apparently... i haven't had this problem, but know others who have fainted regularly in pregnancy due to low BP.

it was normal last week, can it change that quickly then? Do you know of any way of checking it with out going to the doctors?

i have quite low blood pressure (usually 100/60) so i get dizzy quite a bit! could also be low blood sugar if you have gone a while without eating.
Best to get midwife to check it out, you may need a blood test to see if your iron levels are low (anemia), which can make you dizzy.

I fainted on Holiday! The medic there checked my blood pressure striaght away and it was fine, just put it down to heat or standing around to long!
