Hello, I'm a FTM and the last two days I've been having heart flutters (I think that's what it feels like) and dizzy spells. Today its been accompanied by a bit of nausea. Has anyone else experienced this before? Baby boy is squirming around like usual lol I just don't feel up to par today.

    I'd call your doc. It could just be hormones but it could be the start of preeclampsia too. Best wishes

    I've been experiencing the same thing and I'm 29 weeks. My doctor says it's due to increase blood flow caused by pregnancy. I was advised to take my time when getting up from bed or chair ...which is what usually causea the dizziness and shortness of breath for me.

    I had that at week 28 or 29 but this week has been better. I realized I would get them around 10 am each day, which was my signal to get a snack and drink more water- that really helped.

    Def talk to your doc as I'm sure you plan to. I get the same thing from 2nd tri on, Doc says it's perfectly normal and due to increased blood flow. But at the same time I had pre eclampsia with both pregnancies and now they think it may have something to do with the heart? I'm 30 weeks now. Have the heart stuff and absolutely no sign of pre e. So it may be perfectly fine. Or it could be early warning signs? So just let your doc know and don't stress it. Good luck

    Could be anemia too. I've been feeling dizzy last week or so here and there. Dr told me at my last appointment I'm slightly anemic and put me on iron. I'd call your Dr and let them know!

    Thanks ladies, I do plan to talk to my Dr just can't for another week and a half so thought I'd see what advice I could get. It was just a couple days I seem to be back to normal now. Still get a bit dizzy so definitely gonna get him to check my iron levels I've been good so far all pregnancy anemia wise and I'm prone to anemia. Thanks again for the input, always appreciated!

    I'm in the same boat ladies. I have zero energy, light headed, nauseous. I have had hyper emesis with this baby too. My hgb is 10, so my dr started me on iron which I cannot keep down. I have been going to bed early and eating as much iron rich foods as I can keep in. I just don't know what to do and feel like a pest call

    Which iron pills did you get? There's a lower dosage (I think its the green pills red are hard on your stomach without being preggo) I would change to the lower dose and do one in am and one in pm if you're in fact on the higher dose. And never feel like you're bothering them with a call they understand and are there to help. I unfortunately can't call or talk to a Dr till next week with extenuating circumstances. Hopefully yours can help you out :)
