I would guess low blood pressure. It's not uncommon. I nearly fainted last week from standing too long. Hope you're ok. If you have any more symptoms best to call the Doc to check.

Sounds like it could be blood pressure related. If it keeps happening I would talk to your doctor

Either that or low iron.....I felt out of breath and dizzy at times when I was about your stage and I had my bloods done and thats what they thought it was. I've got iron tablets and up to press I've not had it since....

I had the worst dizzy spells in the first trimester caused by my kow blood pressure...so it could be it,also yu could be anemic?

Best thing would be to mention it on your next appointment...xxx

Sounds like low BP. You might be anaemic, ask your MW, you might need to take iron supplements. Hope you feel better soon hun x

I really think you should go ahead and talk to your MW about it.

I fainted in my first pregnancy and when I got home I called the MW and they had me go in just to check my BP and LO's heart rate - and it was all fine and she said it does happen, especially if you have been getting hot, thirsty, hungry , standing for a while or doing too much. I was told to eat more iron rich foods and less sugary stuff.

Maybe you ought to call your MW unit - just to be sure. I'm sure it's all ok and normal though.
