Lightheaded when standing still

[Philip_lucia]

I am 15 months pregnant and 19 years old. My problem is, when I stand in one position for too long, I become really dizzy, weak, lightheaded, I feel like fainting, my vision turns dark, and I hear buzzing. I have to keep moving when I am standing. This has been happening for awhile. This used  to happen when I was younger, my mom thought I didn't have enough sugar, I don't think it's that though. I can't see a doctor till I get medicade.

yes i have the same problem . im 24 weeks pregnant now and i have the promising solution. 2 things that will solve your problem IRON and folic acid. iron is found in wheat stuff , chicken and fish and folic acid is found in greens like peas also roman noodles are high in folic acid because the enriched noodles. also enriched white bread and tortilla.

if you are preggo then u need to see your doc if u have already applied for medicaid then medicaid will back up and pay your bill only up to 1-2 months though....my Sil done this with her son and she had low iron and pre-ecclamsia.........do u have a free health clinic in your area???

It is common to become dizzy during pregnancy. Common causes are- low iron levels, or Pre-Ecclampsia (high blood pressure). You aren't far along enough for it to be high blood pressure (it strikes from 23 weeks onward) so either you have low iron levels (very likely) or it is just the normal dizziness that many pregnant women get -from having a higher volume of blood to pump around their body. (oxygen takes a little longer to get replenished)

Please come and visit the Feb '09 pregnancy forum, and you will meet other mums due around the same time as you!

this happens to me all the time. my due date is the 14th sep and its gettin worse the further i get on. dont worry its only your baby lyin on a nerve in our back which causes your blood pressure to drop. just keep doin what your doin and sit down if it gets too much. drink plenty of water and rest when you can. easier said than done tho. i hope this helps. please dont worry. its better to have low blood pressure than high blood pressure. if your worried too much go see your doc or midwife and they'll tell you what i've said. since its been happening as you've been growning up this will be the cause. i've been the same since i was 14 and i'm 23 now. good luck
