Gotta love pregnancy hormones. I'd say something to your doctor just to let them know how you are feeling. Plus it might be something I can't think of. It could be your blood pressure is fluxuating very quickly and that can be a problem. Call your doctor and inform them. Keep us updated.

Are you dizzy when you first get up? You are probably experiencing situational hypotension.  Quite common as your blood volume is increasing rapidly during pregnancy.  I have low blood pressure and often feel dizzy when I stand up too quickly.  It was worse earlier on in my pregnancy.

You should mention it to your doc.

im having dizziness when im sittin laying down and standing up its really wierd

No, it's not weird. I get it too. I'll be sitting at the computer and I'll get dizzy just sitting there, but the fact that your head is hurting along with it might be a reason to say something to the OB. Good luck and as always keep us updated.

Is it a possibility that you are dehydrated?  I know that when I was pregnant, if I didn't drink enough water my heart would beat really fast and as a result I would get dizzy.  And the first sign of dehydration is usually a headache.  Also, maybe you are low on iron?  Although I'm sure you take a multi. I would definitely notify your Ob.  Good Luck!!!
