I get dizzy when I stand up...

[Comtessa]

... is that normal for early pregnancy?
I don't remember it at all from my first. I'm just wondering if I need to worry about blood pressure or something?

I always get dizzy when I stand while pregnant. It's so normal that once upon a time, a fainting spell was once considered almost as reliable as a dead rabbit for diagnosing pregnancy

Low blood pressure... TOTALLY normal and not worrisome unless you are actually blacking out. Drink more water, it helps.

Always worth mentioning to the doctor/midwife though. They like to know these symptoms in case others crop up that could signal something worse.

Very normal. In my mind, it made up for not being able to drink-- you still have that buzzed feeling.

Yes, I have it with every pregnancy and my blood pressure is very low. My mw convinced me to drink lots and lots of water, which helped enormously.

I didn't get dizzy when I stood up but I'd get dizzy in any kind of heat or with exertion. My doctor said it was normal because of my lower blood pressure and its gone away now that I'm further along.

I've been having this too--like the others said, it is normal!

AnnetteMarie-- Yes! ROFL!

I had a good bout of vertigo before my BFP. I didn't think about it being a symptom until later.

Totally normal, it's due to rapidly increasing blood volume but the blood cells haven't caught up yet to the increased volume.
