1st Trimester

Light headed and hot

This is my 2nd pregnancy but today I feel very light headed and hot. I'm sitting here at my desk and feel like I'm almost in a twighlight state.  Very odd.

I've been keeping up with my meals and snacking about every 2 hours but can't shake this feeling.  Not sure if I should call OB.  Anyone else feeling this way?

 I know each pregnancy is different but I didn't feel this way with DD1.

Re: Light headed and hot

  • Are you drinking enough water?

    I have definitely been a lot more lightheaded this pregnancy.  I have fainted twice.  It is pretty normal to be feeling lightheaded/have hot flashes in early pregnancy though.  I really would just chug some water and try not to worry about it.  Your body is working really hard on increasing your blood supply, and your hormones are fluctuating like crazy.

  •  I know I didn't get enough in during the day yesterday.  I'll step away and go fill up my hospital mug.  I try to drink 2 of those while at work and another 16oz in the evening.  Maybe I am just feeling dehydrated.

  • I'm 8 weeks along and I've been light-headed and really cold almost the entire time. I think it's the hormones, but drinking water is also a good idea. It's easy to get dehydrated when you have morning sickness too (if you do). Hope you feel better soon!

  • I felt like that last night in bed, it was the strangest feeling. I never felt it with DS either. I'm glad I'm not alone. The water is a great idea, I feel like water is the answer to everything in pregnancy. Wink

  • One of my earliest symptoms was hot flashes, except my body was freezing.  I would blanch from my cheeks down to my chest.  I've gotten light-headed a few times.  Now that I think about it, once I upped my water intake to about 100 oz, I haven't experienced this since.
