Lightheaded and Dizzy

I'm 17 weeks today, and for the past couple days I have been feeling very light headed and dizzy even while sitting down.  Eating and drinking water doesn't help, and sometimes I get really bad headaches.  I called my doctor and she wanted me to check my blood pressure and it was pretty good, 123/83.  Does anyone know another cause?  This has been a pretty good pregnancy minus some morning sickness and fatigue. Thanks!

    Drink tons of water it sounds like me when I was dehydrated I kept getting these really bad headaches then I actually started having brownish red discharge cause of it. Very scary I thought something was incredibly wrong because I too am pretty far from miscarriages. Called the doctor she said I need to really double up on water because being pregnant you need more water than usual.

    I get the same thing especially when I stand up. I've read that it's normal, a lot of blood is flowing to the baby.

    water. Make sure your sleeping enough. I might also want to have you get checked for a UTI or a sickness. Your body is working hard growing your baby. I was feeling nauseous and lightheaded and exhausted and found out I had a UTI, a weeks worth of Antibiotics and I feel so much better!

    Hope you get feeling better!

    thanks everyone! I talked to my doctor again, she wants me to go to the ER if it gets any worse.  I'll keep chugging water to avoid that!

    I agree, keep drinking water and also snack throughout the day. You should also remember that all three of those symptoms are common 2nd trimester symptoms. Definitely keep your doctor updated and be aware if your symptoms get really bad as they could be a sign of something else if they are worse than "normal".

    I'm 16 weeks now but at 15 weeks I got horrible tunnel vision and I got light headed and dizzy.i couldn't move I had to sit down. I went to the hospital and got checked out. Everything seemed to be ok besides I was dehydrated. Now every day I have terrible headaches and somedays dizzy/lightheaded. I read that if you lay on your left side it should help and if you can't lay down sit with your head between your legs. I hope this helps !!!!
