dizziness

GHamman · 12-19-2010, 08:17 PM

Hi ladies I have a question and I'm hoping someone here can answer me. I know that being dizzy is one of the early symptoms that can happen in pregnancy, but over the last 4 days I have felt like I am going to pass out at least once a day if not more often. Is this something I should be calling my doctor about? I'm kinda in between doctors as I'm changing from my regular OB to a high-risk one and no appointment has been scheduled. I'll probably give my doctor a call but thought I would ask on here first. Thanks.

I was just reading about this!! It is suppose to be normal b/c your blood pressure actually drops. How far along are you? The thing I was reading said this happens around 11-12 weeks. But, everyone is different. If your worried I would call the Dr..just for peace of mind!!

Are you eating and drinking frequently (meals at least every 3 hours?). Low blood sugar makes me pretty woozy.

Hi Ghamm-
I read that laying on your left side for a few min. will help before you get up. Also standing for long periods of time will drop you blood pressure and make you feel faint ( like waiting in line or something) hope you feel better!

Thanks ladies, I actually had my school nurse check my blood pressure when i was feeling a little light headed and she said that it was low. I'm almost 5w so I'm still early in the pregnancy. I remember having some of this with my son but not til I was much farther along. I did call doctor and the nurse said it could be the low sugar since every time I try to eat I start to get sick. She told me basically keep drinking constantly. She even suggested drinking juice so that i'm getting some vitamins and calories that way.
