Lightheaded & Volleyball??

Question

I'm 7 weeks pregnant and all day today I seem to get lightheaded and my vision becomes almost black then goes back to normal every time I stand up. I've tried standing up slowly, which helps but I still get the woozy feeling. Seems fine when I'm just walking around normal after it levels our.  I'm assuming it's blood pressure. But I'm supposed to have a coed Volleyball game tonight. Do u think it would be a bad idea to play?

Answer

you may be overdoing it a bit. make sure you are getting plenty of water. I have had a couple fainting spells while not pregnant and that is how I felt each time. that being said with the changes in your blood flow during pregnancy standing up alone could be causing this. make sure you tell your doctor about it in case there is a blood pressure issue.

Answer

I agree. Nix volleyball and drink a lot of water.  I lost my vision once when I was dehydrated (I wasn’t pregnant). You need a lot more when you are pregnant and even more if you are active so drink up and take it easy!!

Answer

I’m assuming you’re pregnant posting in this group.. but I would encourage someone who wasn’t pregnant to have the night off. So yes- 1000 times yes, have tonight off. Your body is telling you you need a break. Please go to your doctor and get checked out!!! look after yourself and bub. You don’t want to collapse and risk any complications xx
