While taking a shower...

I was shaving my legs and I totally started to feel light headed.  I've noticed that if I'm in the hot/warm shower too long, this will happen everytime.

Any of you ladies had this happen?  It's a super wierd feeling!

  • Yes, it happend to me a couple of days ago.  But I think it was mostly me leaning over too long and not really the water.  Feel Better :)

  • if i stand up too quickly, or have been sitting down for a long time i've gotten light headed.  I think dizziness and being lightheaded is one of the symptoms of pregnancy. But i admit it is a super weird feeling!  
  • Ugh, I really hope this doesn't turn into a regular thing.  I can handle feeling naseous and all that, but getting light headed scares the crap outta me!

  • It's completely normal. It's because our blood volume has increased significantly so when you change positions too quickly it takes a bit longer for your body to equalize your blood pressure. I don't like the feeling either! You can also get very dizzy if your blood sugar gets too low...hope that helps!

  • It happened when I was pregnant with my son ALL the time. I had to make sure I left the bathroom door open so it wasn't too steamy in there, and really had to cut down my shower time.
