I'm eleven weeks along , I've been getting extreme bouts of dizzeness normally standing up or fast moving, etc. Today it happened while laying in bed. I suddenly just couldn't see straight. When would you alert your doctor about this, or is this all normal? I don't want to be too on edge but this worries me a bit

    The same thing happened to me, to the point where it was making me vomit. It happened for three days straight, at the end of week 11. I became worried and called the doctor. She said that it could be my blood sugar and if it happened again to come in and get it checked out. But to never bend over head first, to always kneel down and scoop whatever it is your trying to get. That your blood is pumping double hard to try and keep up with you and baby. Thankfully it stopped, but i would definately contact your doctor to see if theyd want to see you. How long as it been going on?

    I'm dealing either some dizziness too,but not that extreme. My doctor today said to make sure I'm getting enough fluids and my blood sugar is balanced out. Hope you feel better soon!

    Getting dizzy lying in bed would worry me. I'd call the on call doc or go to the ER just to be safe. Not saying that's what you should do, just how I think I would handle it. Good luck!

    Hmmm...it's a little early, but extreme dizziness can be a sign of preclampsia. When do you see your doctor next?

    When in doubt, call your OB. Trust me people call them with ridiculous stuff so I'm am sure they won't mind counseling your legitimate concern. Drink more water and a cup of juice to get those sugars up. Eat protein regularly to keep sugars in line.

    I've had the same problem for the last 2 days. It's kind of worrying me. My first thought was maybe preeclampsia. I just hit the 11 week mark today. I have my first OB appointment next week and they refuse to see me before then. It's been happening when I go from sitting to standing, and last night from standing to laying down. It's horrible

    My next appt is next Tuesday thankfully. I went out and bought ensure protein shakes just to carry around because at work I'll be like dear god I'm gonna pass out! And go drink one and feel better.

    I'll ask them about it , but I'm halfway glad to see others have had it too! The bending down thing gets me too, and it does feel so strongly like your going to faint, its crazy!

    12w+2 here and the dizziness started on Monday. I had a stomach virus and chalked it up to that but even today it's still lingering but not near as bad as it was when it started.

    Saturday morning I woke up and everything was spinning. Great way to start off the 12th week! I told my Dr about it yesterday and she didn't seem concerned or surprised. It lasted about 3-4 hrs and was about an hr before I even attempted to get up out of bed. So weird.
