dizziness =/

loveleebby

So I'm 26wks as of today. For the past 3-4 days I've been getting really bad dizzy/lightheaded spells. It's not due to overheating, lack of eating or dehydration... my husband put an extra a/c in our bedroom so the house stays rather cool and I make sure to keep snacks handy and eat every few hrs and I drink lots of water. I don't have another prenatal appt for a few wks so I'm wondering if this is something I should be alarmed about and go see a Dr asap or if its a "common" symptom of pregnancy at this stage. It's my first pregnancy so I'm a little freaked out about it because I haven't been able to function normally for the past few days. Anybody else experience this as often as me?!?!?!

im 26 weeks today too and I feel dizzy as well but I have felt it on and off thru my whole pregnancy my dr said its because my bodys natural pressure controls are out of wack due to being pregnant and said its normal just not to drive because even passing out is normal...this was earlier in my pregnancy but he said it could be due to many things aswell increased blood flow and your body doaent know what to do with it its kinda a common thing that just comes with pregnancy *is what my dr told me if its affecting your life more then you can handle you may want to call* im not a dr thats just my opinion... you can see if @homebirthadvocate has anything to say about it...i would like the dizzyness to go away too

I hear it can be from the extra blood flow.

Thanks ladies, yeah I think I will go see the Dr tomorrow just to make sure I'm not anemic or something else at least it will put my mind at ease
