Dizzy Spells Posted: 04-25-07 22:27pm
For the past 2 days I have had theses on
and off dizzy spells. I am 19 weeks 6 days
prego. Is it normal to have dizzy spells
while pregnant. It feels like the room is
spinning at times. Does anyone have any
answers as to what it could be???

I had some dizziness as well in the first
half of my pregnancy. You have a lot more
blood when you're pregnant and that is
part of the reason why. It can pool in
your legs and make you dizzy when you
stand up too quick or if you stand in one
place for a while then start to walk. You
can also have low blood sugar a lot
quicker when you're pregnant I think and
that causes dizziness especially if you
don't eat regularly. Just make sure
you're eating healthy and drinking lots of
water and getting enough iron so you don't
get anemic. If you're feeling faint
though, I think that's probably a lot more
serious and you should check with the
doctor.
