I've been feeling lightheaded and a bit dizzy lately, and I suspect I might be pregnant. I'm wondering if this is a common early sign. When do women usually start experiencing dizziness during pregnancy?
I felt dizzy mostly around week 9, especially when my stomach was empty and I was craving spicy food! Having small snacks throughout the day really helped me. But if you feel dizzy constantly, please get your BP checked by your doc.
Usually, it starts in the first trimester, around week 7 or 8, because your blood pressure drops as blood vessels expand. I used to keep some dry fruits in my bag to prevent sudden weakness. It gets much better in the second trimester, so stay positive!
For me, the dizziness kicked in around the 6th week alongside my severe morning sickness. If you feel lightheaded, please sit down immediately and sip some water. But if you are fainting, please call your gynac right away.
Same here, mine started around 8 weeks because of low blood sugar. Make sure you are eating small, frequent meals and keeping your doctor informed if it is severe.
In my experience, I started feeling a bit dizzy during the second month of my pregnancy when I stood up too fast. I just made sure to take my time getting out of bed. If it becomes frequent, it's best to discuss it with your gynecologist rather than waiting.
