Feeling Dizzy and Bad Headaches?

[midori1999]

Has anyone had this? I have a consultant appointment on Monday so will mention it then, but for the last week or so (am 14 weeks pregnant tomorrow) I have been feeling very dizzy frequently to the point of almost falling over a couple of times and where it is limiting what I can do. I have also had bad headaches and feeling sicker again and had a migraine that lasted 3 days (although wierdly it was on and off, I do usually get migraines when not pregnant).

It's a bit of a nuisance to say the least and I haven't had anything like it in my previous pregnancies. Is it just a normal part of being pregnant though?

Are you drinking enough water? I find it's really easy to forget how little you may be drinking through the day, particularly if, like me, you've gone off your usual cuppa. I think the dizziness could be a sign of dehydration too - or just one of those early pregnancy things. I often feel like I'm on a ship!

Hope you feel better soon xx

Ditto the hydration issue...could also be low blood pressure. A friend of mine suffered with it during her first pregnancy and was forever keeling over.

My blood pressure was low early on in my 2nd trimester and that made me dizzy and fainty, so I agree with lunafire that its probably something to do with this, but best to mention it to put your mind at rest xxx
