I have bppv and get those sudden spinning vertigo episodes, planning for baby soon. Bit tension about how it will be managed during pregnancy. Anyone here went through pregnancy with bppv?
Vertigo during pregnancy can increase your risk of falling, which is unsafe for both you and the baby. Please consult your gynac and an ENT specialist to get safe, pregnancy-friendly treatment or exercises.
Yes dear, you can manage it well. Just take things slow, never jump out of bed quickly, do some gentle ankle movements before standing, and always keep your doctor in the loop about your BPPV.
I have mild vertigo and recently delivered my baby. Pregnancy hormones did make me feel a bit more dizzy in the second trimester, but staying hydrated and avoiding sudden head movements helped me get through it smoothly.
I also have positional vertigo and am planning to conceive soon, so I was really worried about this too! It's so reassuring to know others have gone through it safely. Did your doctor suggest any specific exercises?
My MIL was so worried about my dizziness and kept telling me to rest and eat soaked almonds. BPPV can be managed, but make sure you get up slowly from bed and always have someone around to support you if you feel dizzy.
I totally understand how scary and exhausting that constant dizziness must feel, especially when you are carrying a baby. Please be gentle with yourself, take all the rest you need, and know that you are stronger than you think.
Yes, you can absolutely handle it, but you must discuss your BPPV history with your obstetrician and hospital staff clearly. They can coordinate with a specialist to ensure you have safe, comfortable positions during checkups and delivery.
