strange... pls help (tmi too)

Not sure how to explain this but something strange happened to me this morning. I woke up early and had a normal morning (shower, b'fast, drove to work). When I arrived, I was feeling quite strange - I was weak, hot, out of breath, my heart felt like it was beating faster than normal and I had trouble catching my breath, I had to really try and focus my eyes too or things were a little blurry . I also ended up rushing to the loo twice with dhiarea
At the end, I had to go and have a quiet sit down and sip water for a little while until I felt better. That was this morning and I have felt fine since. I'm seeing my m/w tomorrow a/noon so I'll mention it but I wonder if this has happened to anyone else and what it could be. Should I be more worried? What do you guys think?

Yeah, I was going to say - sounds like low blood pressure. Keep some snacks on you and mention it to midwife.

Even if you normally have normal to low BP if it does drop a little during pregnancy it can cause the problems you described.

I was going to say - I always take water with me now as I can feel a bit faint and it helps.
Still mention to your midwife but as everyone has said its normal and should be okay

I don't generally have trouble with my BP but I get a dip in the mornings as well. I've had it all through the pregnancy but not so noticeable during the middle months. Lying down flat (or sleeping ), having a cup of yoghurt, all seems to help. Hope your m/w is able to shed some light for you.

I have just seen my m/w and she thought the whole thing was quite strange too. She seemed to think that what I had experienced was not quite what happens in a low BP drop. She mentioned something about heart rate and something something - it's all left my head now. If it happens again she wants me to have a blood test and get it checked - she's put some medical reffereal note in my file. I just hope it doesn't happen again - I have been OK today.

I'll try and work until I'm 38 weeks so quite a while to go still. Hope I'm OK and that it has been a one-off thing.

That happened to me too - it was a 'normal' pregnancy thing, my midwife said (well, caused by needing to eat, a hot day, busy, tired, and standing in rather high heels for a bit long).  After then I just carried a little snack bag of dried fruits in my handbag, and kept water on me all the time.  Glad your midwife is playing it safe for you - can't go wrong. 

Yeah me too my MW said with low bp sometimes there is also low blood sugar so having a sweet snack can help as well.

Thanks guys - it's reasurring to know I'm not the only one. I'm hoping still it's a one off and have taken to drinking a nice creamy latte in the morning to help with the low bp That and the milk has calcium - I'll just ignore the caffeine. I seem to do much better in the morning now so fingers crossed.
