hi,
i am 16 weeks gone now and this past couple of weeks i have been getting dizzy.
it seems to happen when i am out walking.
i did see my midwife and she told my bp and to her everything seemed fine.
i did tell her what was happening as she was not sure but because im still being sick that it may be my blood sugar dropping.
i have to say i just feel it is not that.

can any of you think what it could be?
i am worred about it as never had it before
thanks

Hey, Don't know if i can offer much info but am going through exactly the same it also feels like my legs are going to buckle from underneath me when i go dizzy, i had it with my first child up until i was 20 weeks pregnant. I am sure i read somewhere that hormones can sometimes give you head rushes, dizziness etc. If your concerned about your blood sugar level carry a snack around with you just for a little boost xxx

thanks, it is always so much better when i have told someone how i feel.
i also have an underactive thyroid so that is also not good with my hormones.
thanks x
