Light-headed?

Amanda · Jul 25th, 2008, 14:05 PM

Since the day after I got my BFP, I've been feeling really light-headed. Not all the time, but quite a bit. You know that head-rush you get when you stand up too quick? It's like that, but I don't have to stand up to get it!

I suffered quite bad from vertigo a few years ago and it feels like that, but obviously I can't take the tablets for it. This morning I felt drunk at my desk at work!

I'm not hungry when it happens, so it isn't a sugar thing, at least I don't think so.

Anyone else get this?

yes i do egt it. i thought as first it was my blood pressure - but touch wood so far its fine and its not blood sugar. Just one of them things i guess. I always get it in shops, you know if ilm looking up or down at a shelf.

I get it if I move too quickly or I have got up quickly. i suffer from low blood pressure so I assumed it was a mixture of that and pregnancy!!! I get it if I'm too hot aswell.

I get it as well, my office is really hot at the moment so its making it worse. I got up the other morning and I was so light headed it made me feel funny.

I was like that with my first pregnancy, but i was really ill and hardly eat or drink for 20 weeks, i used to see stars aswell, id just be walking along, then all of a sudden, id go really hot and dizzy, start to loose my balance and see stars infront of my eyes.
Turns out i was anemic because of the sickness.

You might faint light/hedded . As the uterus swells it compresses arteries in your legs. This can drop your blood pressure and make you dizzy.

common in pregnancy is that you may feel faint when you have gone a while without eating. This is due to low blood sugar, because that is your baby's main source of food. You want to eat frequent, healthy snacks to keep your blood sugar up. Stock up on portable lunch box foods you can take with you. Such as apples, bananas, grapes, yogurt cups, carrots and celery, cheese and crackers, small cartons of milk, juice boxes, granola bars, boxes of raisins, etc.
