At my last checkup the nurse said my BP is on lower side. I feel dizzy when i stand up fast. Just want to understand what low bp means during pregnancy and should i be tensed about it?
Low BP happens because our blood vessels expand during pregnancy, ho na. I also used to feel so weak and black out sometimes. Just eat small meals and have nimbu paani with a pinch of salt to feel better instantly.
I remember having such low BP in my first trimester that I couldn't even stand up without feeling dizzy. My baby is a toddler now and completely fine, so don't worry too much. Just don't stand up too quickly and keep some salted lemonade handy.
Actually, a drop in BP is quite normal in the first 24 weeks because of circulatory changes. But if you feel extreme dizziness, blurred vision, or faint, you should contact your doctor immediately. Keep yourself well hydrated and avoid long hot showers.
Oh, low BP combined with my severe morning sickness made me feel absolutely miserable in early pregnancy! I couldn't even keep water down, which made my BP drop even more. Try munching on salted biscuits and sip electrolyte water slowly throughout the day.
Yes, low BP can make you feel very weak and dizzy. Try drinking some salt-sugar water or electro powder, and definitely mention it to your gynac on your next visit.
