dizziness

[lilly222]

hi,
Is dizziness a sign of early pregnancy? I have positive tests and now I'm starting to feel nauseous and having really bad spells of dizziness and it's worrying me!
thank you for any advice or help :))

Could be....you should get your blood pressure checked.

Yes - i was horrendously dizzy and the room constantly felt like it was spinning. Horrendous. But yes, mention it to the midwife and they'll check your blood pressure

9 weeks and I've been getting dizzy when I get up too quickly / do certain exercises / overexert myself since week 4. Blood pressure normal but the body is just working extra hard. Just need to remember to take things slowly😅

okay will get my blood pressure checked...is it an urgent thing?

Could also be related to your iron levels. My early pregnancy dizzy spells stopped once I was prescribed iron tablets.

should I be taking vitamins? this is my first pregnancy and I'm really young and not sure what to do and the doctor wasn't much help

@lilly222 you need to take folic acid and vitamin D.
Dizziness can be a pregnancy symptom yes, I've been dizzy since week 4. Try and eat little and often if you can, and stay hydrated x

You should already have started folic acid and vit D as a minimum.

You need to do some research yourself on the NHS website (for example) about diet, supplements, appointments etc.

Take something like pregnacare

Also blutsaft is good for iron. Dizziness is normal though, could be low blood pressure or iron deficiency or something else. Congratulations by the way!

ah I don't know if congratulations are in order...was a little unplanned and I'm terrified!!! I want this baby though

Yes I did with my dd but not my ds, I found eating something sugary helped xx
