15 Weeks and Dizzy/Get out of breath easily.... Anyone else?

jennybc80

Hey All,

So I'm right at 15 weeks and starting about a week ago I get so breathless just going up the stairs! I've also found I"m getting headaches and dizzy (almost vertigo like) alot....especially when driving which can be scary. Other than these odd things, I feel fine. Has anyone else experienced these things?

The dizzy may be dehydration or low blood sugar.  I got really dizzy the other day and the doctor said it was low blood sugar on me so you will probably need to call and check with them.

Yup! I'm 15 weeks too and dealing with the headaches and dizziness as well. I also feel like my heart is going to beat out of my chest sometimes too!

I recently went to tour the Birth Center at the hospital I'll be having my baby at and for some reason, I started feeling lightheaded, and I felt hot and started having cold sweats, I honestly felt like I was going to pass out. I had to sit down and have some water before I felt better. Vertigo, is exactly how I would describe it.
For me, the heat of the summer has really been getting to me and making me feel unwell.

I have since I got pregnant, I asked my doctor to test me for anemia, I was anemic my last pregnancy and it can make you tired, dizzy, and several other things due to poor blood production and oxygen. If you're anemic, slow fe is the most pregnancy friendly iron supplement.

i read somewhere that the shortness of breath may be a result of compression of the lungs, diaphragm, etc. there's much less room for all our organs!

and as far as the dizziness, a spoke to a nurse the other day. there are several possible causes, including low blood sugar and dehydration. be sure to eat frequently and drink A LOT.

i've been getting mild headaches too, don't know why.

Hi,

I was a little dizzy walking up stairs and also out of breath! My Dr said it's from your body producing more blood in your body and it's normal. If you get too dizzy, you may have low blood sugar and should snack more often

I notice I get really dizzy & faint feeling when I have to stand in one place for too long. The other day at church (I sing on our worship team) standing & singing was causing me to feel hot & lightheaded. It was really weird. Just kept drinking water & would sit down in between songs. I felt like such a big baby. But, I knew it was the pregnancy so I wasn't too concerned. Everyone on the team knows i'm preggo.

Yup! Me too! Especially when it's hot! I hate heat anyway so this summer will be interesting. Today it's already 93! Yuck! All my other pregnancy were winter ones so this will be an experience! Lol

I also have a hard time with the steps and get out of breath easily. The dizzy spells usually are passing and last for less than 2 minutes.

I have the exact same thing every time I stand up. Apparently it's normal.

15 weeks here too! and dizzy or seeing spots or vision leaving for a second and definitely out of breath even after or during a discussion with a client or friend. It is ridiculous!
