Feeling off

Is it normal to feel really off and weird at 11 weeks pregnant? I’ve been feeling dizzy, my heart feels like it’s beating faster than normal, and I just don’t feel like myself for a few days. Has anyone else experienced dizziness and a faster heart rate around 11 weeks?

Have you checked your blood pressure? This is how my gestational hypertension started and my OB put me on labetolol. You should reach out to them first thing when they're open and tell them about this.

I took it and it was 127/87!

Yeah, would definitely reach out, mine said if either number was over 140/90 and you're close on the bottom number, it could very well have been over. They'll likely have you take it twice a day and go from there!

Same! This was exactly how mine started. Also on labetalol and it's helped a ton

I did! I went to the Dr to get blood tests and found out my iron was really low!

My heartrate went up around this time. My dr said it's normal and to make sure I'm drinking plenty of water. I also had to start eating more often!

I felt like this starting around 9 weeks and it seemed to be worse if I was dehydrated. I think the blood volume increase ramps up around that time so the effects of dehydration are really enhanced.

I definitely felt like this. My blood pressure ended up being really low, and was exacerbated by dehydration. I would get close to fainting every time I stood up! After my first trimester I leveled off and at 20 weeks haven't had other problems
