dizzy spells??

[Amers0808]

Hey ladies, I'm 20 weeks and as I was at work, I got really hot and really dizzy. I checked my blood sugar and it was fine. I sat down for a few minutes and was fine. Anyone else experiencing anything like this?

[Amers0808]

Well I'm checking my BP regularly too and it's been normal. The reason I checked my sugar is because I'm diabetic and when my sugar dropd I get dizzy too. I have an appt next week. I'll tell my Dr and see what he says.

Same thing here with the dizzy spells, I fainted the other day and had my boyfriend not been there to catch me I would've fell face first into cement. I'm drinking more water and taking my prenatals regularly, I still have to be careful though. I live in Las Vegas and I'll be pregnant all throughout the summer so that worries me and my fainting spells.

Iron has to do with it too. My doctor has me on an iron supplement

I very likely has nothing to do with your blood sugar but everything to do with low blood pressure. Ive had that in every pregnancy!

This has happened to me a couple of times too. Just this week I was in a school assembly, as I'm a teacher, and I had to rush out as I felt like I was going to faint. I did faint about 5 weeks ago now when out shopping. I'm sure that it's hormone related as I get other symptoms when I feel that way. Hopefully it will stop soon.

It happens to me a lot too. Sometimes I'm standing, sometimes I'm sitting. It is a little scary b/c I didn't experience this with my first pregnancy at all.

@babylove815, mine always occur when standing in one spot too long. It's weird.This never happened with my first pregnancy, although there are a lot of things happening with this one that never happened with the first one.

[babylove815]

Yes mine is usually when I stand in one place to long but sometimes just standing at all will cause it. Very scary

I am all the time at work
