I've heard hormonal shifts and low blood pressure can cause this. Have you checked your vitals with your doctor yet?

I had severe dizziness in my second trimester and my doc found out my hemoglobin was low. Please don't ignore it and get a quick checkup done.

I am not a doctor, but I felt very dizzy in my first trimester when my sugar levels dropped. I immediately told my doctor and she adjusted my diet.

It can be due to dilated blood vessels or low blood sugar. Make sure you don't stand up too fast, and please report this to your gynecologist during your next visit.

Dizziness is quite common due to hormonal changes, but please check with your doctor to make sure your BP and iron levels are fine.

Oh, I used to feel so dizzy along with my terrible morning sickness! Please keep sipping water or lime juice, and do inform your gynac so they can check your levels.
