1st Trimester

Light headed, heart pounding after flight of stairs

I have heard being lightheaded or dizzy can happen during second tri semester but not first. Has anyone experienced this during the first 6 weeks? 

Re: Light headed, heart pounding after flight of stairs

  • Lightheaded feelings can absolutely happen first trimester. Your body is working to make extra blood to support the pregnancy. Totally normal. 
  • Yup, normal.

  • I'm currently 5w2d along and the lightheaded/dizzy/out of breath feeling was one of my first pregnancy symptoms, so yes, it is very possible to have these symptoms this early in pregnancy. Every body is different.

  • Absolutely. Dizziness was my first sign I was pregnant. Almost like vertigo for two weeks lol. Still get out of breath going up a flight of stairs but at least the dizziness is getting better!! (7weeks)
