I'm vego too. Always had high iron though and I have no idea why! I HATE vegetables.]]> Fri, 09 Jan 2009 16:52:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23599&PID=582764&title=low-bp-dizzyness#582764 <![CDATA[Low BP/Dizzyness : I&#039;m going to get some flurodix...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23599&PID=582729&title=low-bp-dizzyness#582729 Author: kebakat

I'm going to get some flurodix hopefully over the weekend to deal with the iron thing. I'm a vego so chronically lowish in iron, doesn't seem to matter what I eat I've always had this problem but flurodix works wonders (pity its expensive lol)

Hopefully my BP will come up over time because it totally sucks ass. I didn't have this problem with Daniel and it makes running after him and interesting experience sometimes!]]> Fri, 09 Jan 2009 16:05:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23599&PID=582729&title=low-bp-dizzyness#582729 <![CDATA[Low BP/Dizzyness : I was always told that dried apricots...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23599&PID=582708&title=low-bp-dizzyness#582708 Author: Danaj

I was always told that dried apricots were high in Iron. I had a look and it turns out they're not. I was a bit disappointed as I used to much on them all the time!]]> Fri, 09 Jan 2009 15:40:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23599&PID=582708&title=low-bp-dizzyness#582708 <![CDATA[Low BP/Dizzyness : I also have low BP and have found...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23599&PID=582706&title=low-bp-dizzyness#582706 Author: Emmecat

I also have low BP and have found the dizzy/faint feeling much worse in my 2nd trimester. Haven't fainted (yet) but there have been a couple of close calls

I second just the regular eating thing, lots of fluid ((sorry that probably does mean water!) and you could also try either iron pills and/or food naturally high in iron...dried apricots etc?

Good luck dealing with it cos it's not a nice feeling!

I have low blood pressure too. I fainted in the shower at about 8 weeks because it was too hot, then the same day on the bus I fainted again when I was standing in the aisle, it was very crowded and I couldn't get any air. Now I have cooler showers which must help because I haven't fainted since then (still have low BP though).]]> Fri, 09 Jan 2009 15:30:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23599&PID=582698&title=low-bp-dizzyness#582698 <![CDATA[Low BP/Dizzyness : Yep, food and rest is about all...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23599&PID=582643&title=low-bp-dizzyness#582643 Author: Danaj

Yep, food and rest is about all you can do. I had low BP especially around the 18-24 week mark and couldn't go on long drives to see my customers as I feel asleep at the wheel on the way back to Palmy from Ohakune. Very scary.

I hate water with a passion too. I have a squeezy bottle, lots of ice cubes, Roses lime juice and water. The lime makes it quite nice especially with the ice in this weather.

Milk is fine but I think you're only supposed to count 2 non-water drinks in your daily water intake. Just hope you don't get an intolerance to dairy lol. ]]> Fri, 09 Jan 2009 14:30:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23599&PID=582643&title=low-bp-dizzyness#582643 <![CDATA[Low BP/Dizzyness : black licquous (sorry not thinking...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23599&PID=582610&title=low-bp-dizzyness#582610 Author: kezplanet

black licquous (sorry not thinking bout sp) im sure you will guess what I mean, also try snacking on dried fruit - eg sultanas, mango, pineapple maybe some nuts just have some make up like a scroggin, will help keep your energy up just not too much at a time to avoid the sugar high then drop, hopefully will get better for you soon, I was a bit the same for a while]]> Fri, 09 Jan 2009 13:54:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23599&PID=582610&title=low-bp-dizzyness#582610 <![CDATA[Low BP/Dizzyness : I&#039;m not doing much strenuous...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23599&PID=582593&title=low-bp-dizzyness#582593 Author: kebakat

I'm not doing much strenuous anything thanks to ms and I can't drink water it makes me which is sooo dumb. I'm drinking lots of milk. Does that work the same?

I've already divided lunch and dinner into 2 meals. If I eat much more often I'll be constantly eating lol]]> Fri, 09 Jan 2009 13:27:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23599&PID=582590&title=low-bp-dizzyness#582590 <![CDATA[Low BP/Dizzyness : Drinking lots helps a bit too....]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23599&PID=582589&title=low-bp-dizzyness#582589 Author: caraMel

Drinking lots helps a bit too. I had it with both kids and actually fainted a few times with Ella. My midwives advised me to drink lots and lots of water and not to do anything strenuous if possible.
Hope you feel better soon!]]> Fri, 09 Jan 2009 13:27:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23599&PID=582589&title=low-bp-dizzyness#582589 <![CDATA[Low BP/Dizzyness : I&#039;ve always had low BP and...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23599&PID=582585&title=low-bp-dizzyness#582585 Author: Brenna

I've always had low BP and can easily get a faint/dizzy feeling. I find not getting too hungry helps, so maybe eat more often if you feel up to it]]> Fri, 09 Jan 2009 13:22:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23599&PID=582585&title=low-bp-dizzyness#582585 <![CDATA[Low BP/Dizzyness : Get stressed out, lol!

I have low BP apparently and I'm taking maxolon which has the side effect of causing light headedness.

Is there anything I can do to bring my BP up and/or get rid of some of the dizzy spells I'm having?

Everytime I stand up whether it be slow or fast my head spins and theres been a few times where I've thought I might faint. I've never had low BP before so its weird]]> Fri, 09 Jan 2009 12:43:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23599&PID=582541&title=low-bp-dizzyness#582541
