Dizzy/faint when standing?

Question

I’ve noticed that if I’m standing in one place for any significant period of time, I start feeling faint or dizzy, like I might pass out. Sitting down makes it feel better. Anyone else have this or know the cause? I don’t have another appointment for a few weeks and wondering if I need to bring it up with my doctor, or if it’s normal?

Answer

Most likely is orthostatic hypotension. Your blood volume expands as pregnancy progresses.  So as that volume expands, your bp gets lower.  So when you stand up quickly your bp drops causing the dizziness. Try standing up slower, or when you go from sitting to standing sit up at the edge of your chair for a few seconds, then stand up slowly and you shouldn’t be as dizzy. Happens to me all the time !!

Answer

I have the same issues. Doc says low blood pressure. Try to stand a little slower and take frequent breaks in between sitting or standing to long. I would definitely let your doc know so that they can monitor you.

Answer

Me. Everyday all day. They say it is normal

Answer

This seriously just happened to me 20 mins ago. Still sitting down. I have an appointment Thursday I’ll let you know what the doctor says.

Answer

Low blood pressure. Call your provider and ask what you can do to level it out.
