Is A Head Rush During Pregnancy A Matter Of Concern?

I'll be 38 weeks pregnant on Monday, and for the last couple of days, when I go do lay down, my head starts to feel weird. Tonight I realized that it's because I'm getting the feeling like blood is rushing to my head. Should this be something to be concerned about? I got my blood pressure checked yesterday and it was normal.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You need not to worry. As your pregnancy is moving towards term so such symptoms can appear. Your BP is normal as well so you need not to worry. Try to lie on left lateral position and not straight and have good intake of water. Hopefully you will feel better.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. Wishing you good health.
