Early pregnancy Light Headedness

[HannahLouLou24]

Hi All, Is there any advice or anything I can do to help with being so lightheaded? I'm struggling to concentrate at work, making silly mistakes and I feel so dizzy all the time?!

@HannahLouLou24 make sure you have having plenty of iron and drinking plenty as low iron and dehydration can cause you to feel lightheaded. The extra blood flow can affect your blood pressure too. Just take it easy and make sure you’re having everything you need

I feel for you. My first trimester was similar - main symptoms were fatigue, sore boobs, and faintness. I found that a sugary drink really helped. As PP has said, it could also be your iron so perhaps worth bringing it up with your GP or midwife so they can check your levels ☺️
