Second pregnancy, btw.

I've got low BP so I expect to feel a bit woozy on standing up, but I am already starting to get really dizzy, breathless and woozy.

Iron count has been good up till now and it is due to be chacked next week.

Can anyone think of any other factors? I will consult MW of course, but not till Monday.

Thank you.

hey i'm 32 weeks 1st pregnancy.
i've had low blood pressure aswell its horrible. Went to see my dr yesterday as i felt so bad, he checked my last load of bloods taken by the midwife and found that i should hav been on iron tablets and was rather annoyed at the fact my midwife did not do anything bout it.
As a result he's signed me off work right upto when i was due to finish.

sorry for the ramble nice to be able to tell someone who's had the low blood pressure.

I had low bp at 20 weeks. You might need to take some time off work until its gets better. Sometimes it takes a while for your liver to catch up making enough blood for you and the baby. Put your feet up ( literally) and stay hydrated.
