Fainting - any tips?

I’m 9 weeks and have pretty low blood pressure (90/60 last week). Have felt lightheaded if I stand up quickly for the last few weeks, this week I fainted in the lift at work (it was warm, crowded, and it goes up fast in a very tall building).

I’m drinking plenty, eating regularly, and now wearing flight socks for some calf compression.

Is it worth asking my midwife about stronger compression stockings? Or any other things I can try to stay conscious?

Speak to your doctor and midwife and see what they say.
