I am about 25 weeks preggers now and I have noticed that while I am at work I am having dizzy spells. I am on my feet a lot - I guess thats why I notice it more at work. It just feels like the ground is moving on me...most bizarre. Has anyone else ever had an experience like this and do you know what causes it. it doesnt last long and as long as I hang onto something it soon passes.
l used to get alot of dizzy spells as well when l was pregnant with all 4 of my children......the doctor said l did not have enough fuild in me and l had to start taking a drink with me every where l went.
i had that and it was due to the floressent lights in the shop that caused this i also fainted at work ,, i had to quit the job as it was something in the lights that caused this while i was pregnent only ,,, i did try to go outside in the sun now and then and it did help a little but it wasnt easy as i was the only one running the shop
I had that all through the pregnancy and for a few months after. It was because I was so sick with morning sickness (morning sickness, yeah right, 24/7-sickness!) that I lost weight throughout the pregnancy and was induced early because of that weight loss. I wasn't sick after the baby was born of course, but I was breastfeeding very often and not putting the weight back on and found it difficult to eat a lot of food. It took the better part of the first 6 months to start feeling better, although it took longer to regain the weight. Have you had morning sickness at all? Or it could be you're not drinking enough water. I know I get like that on occasion now if we're out in the sun and I'm lacking fluids.
I got this a lot when I was pregnant and I wasn't anaemic at all (confirmed by blood test). It can be any number of causes. Low blood pressure is a very common one during pregnancy. Also low blood sugar - not eating enough or often enough to compensate for how much growing a baby is taking out of you. Anaemia could be a cause and most doctors these days seem to recommend taking a folic/iron supplement (like Fefol) during your whole pregnancy to combat it.
Don't worry - you're normal. If it's bothering you or interfering with your work, talk to your doctor about it. Good luck!
Sounds a lot like anaemia to me. You need to make sure you are taking an iron supplement when you're pregnant particularly in the later part of the pregnancy. Try to take a liquid supplement because iron supplements can be constipating. If constipation is a problem then take psyllium husk in a drink like Metamucil or something like that but DEFINATELY take the iron. It doesn't matter how much iron you think you're getting in your diet, pregnant women in the last part of their pregnancy often experience anaemia. It will take about three days for it to work. After this if you're still having problems you may want to visit your Doctor.
It happened to me with all of my pregnancy's. It was caused by not enough iron. Don't get me wrong I ate meat for breakfast, lunch and tea but it just wasn't enough. The baby's was taking the whole lot. I would ask you doctor cause the last thing you'd want is to pass out while your pregnant. Good luck. Hope your felling bettter soon.
i was working while pregnant and had the same thing its because you are on your feet all the time, put your feet up where possible and keep drinking lots and lots of water. becareful or you will get high blood preasure as some women do if they are on hteir feet all day.
I was in a very demanding job for my pregnancy and know the feeling..........I used to have to put my feet up every so often and please watch your blood pressure as I developed this too which compounded the dizziness good luck regards Merle
i experienced this s with my pregnancy, i got headaches as well mine was due to dehydration i was working as well they told me to make sure i drink plenty of water as you need more of it when you are more active with pregnancy i had to go on a drip over night to get back to normal, i would go and see a doctor just to make sure you know exactly what it is you can never be to careful good luck with your pregnancy Brittxx
yes i was serverly iron deficent whilst pregnant with my second child the doctors ran some tests after i told them about it and found that i had an iron level of 65, i technically should not have been standing let alone chasing my three year old round the waiting room...cheeky boy lol... but my body had gotten mostly used to it... so i only experienced the dizzy spells... i had to have an iron infusion which means they basically had to hook me up to a iv for seven hours... i hate sitting still...lol but you should tell your doc about it and then they can run some tests... if it is the iron levels don't worry about your bub though because they will be using all your iron and you are the only one who will be suffering bummer but not as bad as it sounds k... :)
I had this with all my pregnancies mine was due to lack of iron and apparently blood pressure. Also sometimes I had enough iron but my body didn't break it down quick enough. You should go and see your doctor as you don't want to end up fainting because it happens at the darndest times and you are a bit disoreintated after and it is scary.
GO TO THE DOCTOR take care and let us know what it is for you.
