So, I really like my doctor. He is great about listening to you, letting you know your options and not making you feel foolish for whichever decision you make. Basically it seems that no matter how slowly I stand up, for some reason I'm having a bit of orthostatic hypotension -- the drop in blood pressure from standing up that causes you to feel dizzy. He checked my heart and lungs, I asked if iron might be my problem and he said he looked over the results from my bloodwork and they couldn't ask for better levels...so that's good. He told me options for tests we could do, but since a lot of times they just tell you the same thing you already know...I opted to wait and see if the dizziness improves, and in the meantime I'll continue to eat/drink well. He also felt my back where it hurts (not too bad) and that's fine.
He also checked the baby's heartbeat, which sounds wonderful, and was a nice treat for us to hear that again! A couple times we heard a different sound and he said it was the baby moving. The child is already quite active it seems!
