Quick! When to call the doctor?

[Genevevex]

So, I've been having lots of normal pregnancy symptoms... nausea, etc.

This morning when I got to work, I realized that I am dizzy. Not nauseous, really, but bonafide dizzy. I reached for something and almost fell over because I missed it. As the day has gone on, now I have the WORST headache! It is pounding and I can't concentrate, and I still feel dizzy.

It didn't occur to me until it's been a few hours that this might have something to do with blood pressure? Or something important? I dunno. Should I call the doctor or wait it out and see if tomorrow is better?

How's your blood sugar? Have you eaten enough and drank enough water? Dehydration headaches are awful. I would say try to eat something and drink a big glass of water and see how you feel in a couple hours. If it keeps up, I would call your doctor and see what they think.

I've been drinking water all day, and snacking on cashews and jerky. I was just thinking to myself how good I was doing on my water intake today. Maybe not?

Def could be dehydration, I have had a lot of dizzy spells also, my dr said its normal for the most part and to drink lots of fluids. U need more than normal when preg! Maybe u can run to a drug store or pharmacy that had one of those blood pressure machines...... It would tell u , but always call for a Piece of mind too....I called my dr a couple wks ago when I was super dizzy, whenever I go from sitting to standing I blackout and super dizzy :/

Try some carbs. And some more water. As PP said, you need lots more when pregnant. Making all that extra blood and stuff. Good luck, sweetie.
