Today I experianced something strange

I was at the flea market today walking only for like a couple minutes,like maybe 25 it wasnt that hot and I was feeling fine before but I kept getting light headed and very dizzy. I couldnt barely even see I had to hold my fiance to stay up. I'm only almost 15w and I dont know that it was normal. I'm going to talk to my ob about it but I was wondering if any of you had the same symptom or anything like it. I've been trying to find a reason but I just dont get it.... Hmmm... Help?

That happened to me while i was at the gas station when i was about 16 weeks...i grabbed a strawberry milk and downed it, then i was fine.....it was probably just low sugar

If u have DM in ur fam most likely u'll get one unless if u watch u eat...I found out I was gestational diabetis with my pregnancy & I had exact symptoms so now I am... always take some candy or something sweet in ur purse just in case happens again...Either ur doc will test u now for diabetes or doc will wait til 20 weeks it's a standard...but make sure mention with ur doc. Good luck

My second son was pressing on some nerves which caused numbness and dizziness.  Was scary cause it would just come out of the blue and a couple times I was driving.  I just had to try and be prepared and then just relax and let it pass.  Good luck :)

Im 32 weeks and that happens to me alot.
Dizziness is actually a common pregnancy symptom. Just let your doctor know, but chances are they can't so much. Mine didn't seem concerned.

Your blood sugar might of been low, if you maybe didnt eat or snack for a few hours you could of just experienced low blood sugar. To prevent it, it's good to snack between meals especially wuth growing baby. I get it normalky, but especially bad during pregnancy

Your sugar could have been low! I know its easy for me to get light headed but just walking around for alittle, sounds odd, it could have been your sugar
