Light headed

Wendyg123

I'm 25 weeks & 3 days pregnant & lately I've been feeling a little light headed . It happens out of nowhere I start getting dizzy & I start to get hot . I don't know if that's normal or not.. Does this happen to anyone else ? If so what did you do when this happened ?

This has been happening to me recently as well. I find somewhere to lay on my left side and drink water. I also recently found out I am anemic, so I make sure to eat a little something and take my iron pill. It's pretty scary though, especially when I was driving one time.

This happened to me twice.  Once because I'd gone too long without eating.  And the second time I'm not quite sure what happened.  Though I too was told I am anemic this week.  So maybe low iron levels had something to do with it.

Happened twice to me at work. Extreme hot flash, dizzy, nausea, blurry vision and started throwing up. Called doctor and they told me to relax, eat and drink something every 2 hours. As well as to call if it should reappear the same day.
At my check-up I was told that it happens..so yeah

It has happened to me a few times this pregnancy, and it happened during my last as well. I chug water and lay down on my left side. Last pregnancy I was anemic, so I'm sure I'll be getting that diagnosis when I go for my third tri blood work in a few weeks :-/

I've had the same thing and my MW blamed it on low iron, as well. It's pretty common especially toward the end of 2nd tri/beginning of 3rd. The iron supplements do a number on me, though between stomach pain and headaches.

This happened to me on Wednesday. I was standing in the nasty Florida humidity (post storm) for an hour speaking with someone and didn't realize it had been so long. I started sweating REALLY bad and felt like I needed to puke (I never got ms). After I sat in my car for a minute with the AC on and chugged some water I felt much better. I think I'd just gone too long without water.

I have been dizzy a few times during this pregnancy. I just get some water and lay down. I didn't feel like this my first pregnancy. But usually when I lay down, I feel better.

This happens to me too! Didn't have it in my first pregnancy. I was anemic last one and this one. I wish I knew what caused it. I hope it goes away.

This happens to me. I usually just have to sit and rest for a minute and either drink or eat something if its available. After a few minutes of rest it goes away.
