Second trimester dizziness

25 weeks and have had a few dizzy/lightheaded spells over the past week or 2. They last a few hours.

wondering if this is normal, or if it requires a call to the midwife or gp?

im feeling so anxious with this pregnancy and am worried this could mean something is wrong 😞

I had dizziness and low BP between 20ish weeks and now (31 weeks). No one was very concerned and I've put it down to anaemia and generally always having low BP to start with. I'd ask for a blood test to check iron levels etc if you haven't had one yet.

This is a good point actually. Iron was but low on my last blood test, and I’m usually borderline anaemic unpregnant anyway. They were going to see if Pregnacare would be enough to boost it slightly as I’m so constipated anyway I didn’t want to take iron tablets 😣I’ll give the midwife a call and see what they say x
