Low blood pressure and dizziness during pregnancy

Pregnancy is not always easy! Your body is changing, and a few things could go wrong.

Get ready for a rush of hormones! You may experience poor circulation, low blood pressure, dizziness, and nausea. Being pregnant can be a challenge, but rest assured that these little worries are temporary and will soon be replaced by the euphoria of becoming a mother.

If you feel dizzy, lie down on your left side immediately and elevate your legs with a pillow. If you haven't eaten in a few hours, you're probably hypoglycemic. Drink something sweet and have a snack. You'll be back on your feet in no time!

Needing advice. I know the risk of high blood pressure while pregnant but what can I do for low blood pressure? I just sat up in bed and I fainted. My blood pressure is currently 90/56 after I came to and checked it. Any tips? Thank you

Always keep salty snacks near by like crackers and some apple juice for the moments you feel it dropping or get dizzy, that’ll usually raise it quickly .. get up slowly as well and make sure you’re drinking a lot of water

Has anyone suffered with low blood pressure entering the 3rd trimester? I can’t seem to keep my blood pressure elevated and I’ve been getting dizzy/faint.

Drink more water? Eat something salty but not overdo it to avoid high blood pressure.

Yes girl me all the time, I have passed out like 3 times already. I start feeling out of breath which is even hard to speak then blurry vision and feeling like fainting. I hate it but the only direction Dr told me is not to skip foods, 3 whole meals and 2 snacks during the day also stay hydrated with Electrolytes ♥️🥺

Hey anyone deal with low blood pressure and dizziness? I have morning sickness alll day long and can’t keep anything down. But when I’m not feeling sick I get so dizzy that I end up getting sick. My OB says it’s normal for pregnancy but I’m so over crying everyday from feelings so bad. #9weeks6days

Do you have a history of high blood pressure? Your blood pressure isn't that high but if your concerned I would contact your doctor's office to see what may be going on

That is low bp. And I have pcos so I experienced blood clots and bleeding w my son who is almost 9 yo and now during this pregnancy. You always have to check and make sure baby is ok of course, So I recommend a hospital visit. An ultrasound can assure that your baby is just fine. You'll be fine prayers for you. 🙏🏼
