dizzy and weak

[getagoldtoof]

I just tried to get out of bed and literally couldn't stand up. I kept falling back onto bed. Is this normal? What shall I do to feel ok to stand up?

Sounds like it might be low blood pressure, I've had a few dizzy spells and that's what my midwife said it was. If you can, lie back down to make sure you're getting enough blood to your head. After 5 minutes or so try getting up again very slowly. If it continues phone your midwife and ask for advice.

Thank you. I feel so dizzy, but have managed to get up for a bit. I was a bit worried as ive never felt that weak. Another sick day ahead. Bored, bored, bored and missing work (!).

Could be anemia, hpw far are you op? May be worth asking mw for blood tests.

How far along are you? I used to get that in the very early days and weeks. Not sure what it was, but it went away fairly quickly.
