So freaking dizzy

I'm almost 19 weeks pregnant and for the past 5 days I've been dizzy as hell. Feels like a migraine and I did have a full blown migraine on Sunday. However all the other days I'm just dizzy to varying degrees. Is this normal? This is my second pregnancy, I don't remember this being a thing tbe first time.

You need salt/electrolytes

get it checked out especially since you had a migraine

@ellie 🤍 not everything requires a doctor 🙄 headaches/dizziness is normal in pregnancy especially with fluctuating hormones. You need salt/electrolytes. This is my fourth baby/pregnancy and it’s normal.

@Lindsay Potter of course it can be normal i’m not an idiot. but i also know headaches and dizziness can be a sign of preeclampsia and it’s surprising you’re not even a little bit aware of that on your fourth pregnancy.. a little worrying. it can be various things not just lack of salt and electrolytes. last time i checked being on your fourth pregnancy doesn’t make you a healthcare professional.

@ellie 🤍 never said you’re an idiot lol, and I’m aware but if she has no other symptoms besides that then no it’s not preeclampsia 😅 Common sense, and yes having four babies I would say that I’m pretty knowledgeable when it comes to pregnancy/birth 😘 I’ve had headaches and dizziness with ALL kids, if you have no other symptoms besides that and BP is fine then you can rule out preeclampsia. I’m not going to argue with a young girl who had one kid via c-section

@Lindsay Potter there is no harm in mentioning it to her OB is there? just because you were dizzy because of a lack of salt and electrolytes doesn’t mean its the same for everyone in pregnancy. for me it was anaemia

@Lindsay Potter get a grip. Prenatal care is free with most insurances why wouldn’t she just go to the doctor to rule out anything if she’s nervous and asking if it’s normal. Last I see you’re not a doctor so relax. 🫶🏽

I can't see any of Lindsay's comments, only ppls replies. Anyway my GP checked my blood pressure, which was good. Waiting on blood test results for anemia and thyroid.
