It's happened to me a couple times and typically lasted a couple hours. What helped immensely was getting a snack. It helped to dissipate the lightheaded dizzy feeling.

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!

I have super low bp all the time, last doc appt it was 92/60 and I just got told to ensure I am drinking enough. No idea what it realllly has to do with it, but I know I don't drink enough ever!

I have low blood pressure and low blood sugar so I make sure to drink plenty of water and always have a "safety snack" in my bag.

My bp has been low my entire life. When I was pregnant I stayed super hydrated--drank about a gallon of water or more a day & always carried a little piece of candy or juice to give me a boost if I started to feel like I was going to faint or felt like it was dropping.

My BP is typically on the lower end of the "normal" range, but this happens to me a lot. Low BP runs in my family, and I often feel faint and/or lightheaded. Water helps sometimes, as does a snack, but not always. I'm worried that it's going to get worse as the pregnancy progresses. I'm sorry you're not feeling well!

that's my normal BP - are you low to begin with?
when i entered my second trimester, i often felt really lightheaded and dizzy, especially if i got up too fast. it's gotten better though, and my bp is slightly higher now, although still well within the low range. definitely try to eat more snacks, like apples or celery with peanut butter, boiled eggs with a piece of toast, etc. - don't go too long without having a few bites here and there!

When I was pregnant with LO, my BP was 80/40 a few times and consistently around 90/50 up until the end. I was just told to drink loads and listen to my body - if I started feeling lightheaded, sit down and take a break. Also, not to get up too fast and not let myself get too hungry. It worked as I never really had any issues, although I've had low BP my entire life, so I may just be used to it.
