Dizzy?

[choklatemunky]

Is anyone else feeling a bit dizzy?
I seem to be getting dizzy spells pretty much everyday - its usually in the afternoon, starts from about 2pm onwards (but sometimes not til later than that) and then some days it will go in the evenings and other days it seems to get worse. It can last for a good few hours.

I dont think it can be cos Im not eating properly or due to low blood sugar or anything....and also Im taking preg vits so I am hoping Im not lacking in anything I need as they should all be in the tabs. I did think it was due to the antibiotics I had for my UTI but Ive finished the course of them and it doesnt seem to be changing/getting any better so Im not convinced it was that now.

I will prob go to the Drs at least to get blood pressure checked etc later in the week if it hasnt improved, but I do know that dizzyness is a common symptom and might be something to do with increased blood flow or somesuch, so Im not worrying too much at the mo - just wondered if it was just me?

I've been getting that too Honey, dizziness, nausea, hot flushes comes in bouts lasting a few sec to 10/15 mins at a time. started at about 10weeks and 'replaced' the constant morning sickness I was getting

Don't know which I prefer tbh

Hope you feel better soon

Hmm, well Ive had one set of bloods done at my 1st appt (I think they tested iron then? amoungst a million other things) and no-one has got in touch about bloods.....the MW said they would call if there were any probs (and they did re my urine sample taht i gave her at the same time) so I think I would have heard by now about the bloods if something showed up...., as I say, think I'll go to Drs if it carries on, its getting a bit much every day!

I had them a few weeks back, cant remember when exactly, i thought i could be anemic and was off work for a full week, it was awful, but turned out i wasnt anemic and havent, touch wood, had many dizzy spells (to that extent anyway!) since!

Midwife told me it could just have been my hormones!

I had a lot of dizzy spells in first tri, I even passed out. Its probably just your hormones but I know it can make you feel really ill. I wouldn't worry about it too much but if you need to phone your M/W for some reassurance. Hope you feel better soon

I've been getting dizzy spells also, even when I was sat down doing nothing, I remembered from my first pregnancy that it was down to low iron levels, so I brought some liquid iron called Floradix (it's fine to take during pregnancy). Have a look at the following link.

Since taking it I haven't had anything like as many dizzy spells. With my last pregnancy I was prescribed iron tablets but they made me really consitpated, but the liquid iron is fine and my bowels are working smoothly (TMI)
