this has really scared me.

I'm 6wks pregnant and the past few days felt under the weather, my two dcs are 2 and 4 and have had a sickness bug today and yesterday.

This afternoon I suddenly felt VERY dizzy, bad headache and seeing spots, couldn't focus on anything and felt sick, have just ate a hearty portion of chilli and salad and its stopped instantly but left me feeling weak and very worried :(

Low blood pressure maybe? I've had low BP a few years ago and I was tired, dizzy and generally felt awful. Have you been drinking plenty of fluids?

I wasn't pregnant at the time though.

Oh GOD I am having exactly the same thing.

I got low blood pressure towards the end of my last pregnancy, so I'm wondering if it's that?

I agree low blood pressure the likely culprit. I have this anyway but worse in pregnancy and I know it can do weird things to vision. I did find keeping my blood sugar levels up really helped, and tried to avoid standing up too fast (and I realise you can't always stop that when you've got 2 other DC!!)

My friend who at the time was a med student (qualified as a doc the following year, so he must known what he was talking about) told me to make sure I was drinking plenty of water and to take it easy for a day or 2. 2 little DC's probably make for thirsty work, so I'd try to have a bottle for myself to hand as well as for them.

Low blood sugar. I get this quite often.

I've got a bottle of water on me now, will make sure I keep hydrated, glad I'm not alone that's reassuring :)

Let me know how you get on, JJ- am going to Docs next week...

could be anemia

I'm going to get to the docs when I'm home, I'm away atm which made it panic me more. Hope it goes ok teth.

I had this. It's low blood sugars. You need to eat more regularly.

LOw BP and blood sugar will both make you feel crap but tbh I would suspect it that's you are at 6 weeks when everythng really kicks in and you are probably running around after your dcs plus I saw your other thread - welcome as the pregnancy is, it's hardly been a stress free day or two has it? Take things easy, keep hydrated and wait for it to pass.

I'm doing myself no favours as were away at the ils too, just woke up dp left me to rest off to eat now and hope for a better day!

Thank you for all your comments, ill pop to my gp when I get home too x

i'm 13 weeks now and i get this a lot but it's also combined with heart palpitations, it's psvt but it's really affecting me since i became pregnant :(
