Pregnancy and VVS

Hi all, I was diagnosed with vasovagal syncope a few months ago by positive told table test. Decided to try to manage symptoms without medication as was trying to conceive. I'm now 6 weeks pregnant and my symptoms are awful. I read that they can improve for some and worsen for others.

My question is this: has anybody found their symptoms initially worsened but improved after the early stages of pregnancy? I'm also wondering if anybody has experience of taking medication whilst pregnant?

Thanks in advance for any replies!

Hi ive got 3 children but had only been diagnosed with vvs before my 3rd pregnancy, i had symptoms for years so would of had vvs whilst pregnant with my 1st 2 children, i found my symptoms improved the further along i got in my pregnancy, just had odd days with minor symptoms. And towards the end worsened again but i was due in july and the heat took its toll on me just made sure i drank plenty of water. Wasnt taking any medication whilst pregnant because i was told they didnt know the effects would have on baby prior to pregnancy was taking midodrine and sodium tabs.

And in all pregnancys i gave birth without any complications arising from them,

Hope this helps
