@daffodil_shoe can’t imagine performing surgery ever let alone while pregnant! You’re a boss.
@Swiftlet food doesn’t seem to help consistently. It’s like an extended period of feeling lightheaded. 🤷🏼♀️I’m trying not to think about gestational diabetes. My blood pressure has been normal
I am going on day 3 of a headache with dizziness and being lightheaded. My sister is a nurse and she came over yesterday because she was concerned about preeclampsia. It turns out I have the opposite problem, low blood pressure. She said I’m most likely dehydrated. I felt like I had been drinking enough, but couldn’t say for sure how much I have been drinking. I’ve been pounding water ever since and am still having issues. Any advice?
@doodleoodle, how low was it? Low BP along with lightheadedness is not uncommon in pregnancy. I don’t really have any tips except change positions slowly and carefully.
@jvk2012 technically it wasn’t too low. 82/60 but I’m usually on the high side of normal. At my last appointment it was 118/74 and that’s pretty typical while pregnant.
@doodleoodle I’ve been 80-90/50-60 at all of my appointments and have been told that’s very normal. Have you tried any Tylenol for the headache? Hope you’re feeling better soon
I'm feeling SO pregnant all of a sudden. I feel like my belly has grown really quickly the last two weeks or so and my bump is there in full force. Getting into/out of my husband's car is becoming less comfortable as is getting out of bed (which happens every 5 seconds when I have to pee, ugh!) I'm having trouble imagining how much it's going to suck being like twice the size I am now... Starting to get some lower back pain - upping my sleep number on my mattress helped me sleep SO much better last night and I'm thinking I'll get a belly band here soon (recommendations welcome! Maybe I'll post in the questions thread.)
Well, I have finally given in and asked DH to put on my socks for me It has gotten uncomfortable and I get out of breath trying to reach my feet for that long. I can't tell if I feel pathetic or just grateful that he is more than willing to help.
@burr1371 What you’re describing sounds like something I felt last night, but I assumed it was from repositioning! And I noticed the hard abdomen @daffodil_shoe, and was bewildered by that. Are those related?
@daffodil_shoe I think I googled my way to an answer. I was wondering if the pain + hard abdomen went together... gathering it may have been Braxton-Hicks
