Hello

I am 8weeks pregnant with my 2nd child...strangely enough this pregnancy is already so different to when I was carrying my dd, anyway I am suffering with sickness and feel awful all day everyday lol but I am also getting very light headed often and dizzy, is this a "normal" stage of early pregnancy? I know during my pregnancy with my dd I had low blood pressure but haven't been checked so far but I didn't have this before!!

Make sure you are drinking enough and rest as much as you can. You should see your midwife soon so tell her how you are feeling and she will check you over.

I have this too and am also at 8 weeks with 2nd child - lol.
Anyway my gynae suggests - keepy hydrated, eat small meals every 2 hours even before getting out of bed - I was waking up dizzy.
Have you had blood pressure checked - I have low blood pressure so they advise to increase salt intake.
So have been doing all of these for a week and eating every 2 hours and drinking more water has made a huge difference. I was almost fainting on command and am a lot better for eating smaller amounts more regularly.
