I experienced this throughout my entire pregnancy with my first two children. Now pregnant with my third and finding that every one really can be different as I have only experienced that twice this time around. If you get to a point where you are actually fainting then I would say it is cause for concern at that point. I know it is frustrating to experience the dizzyness and the lightheadedness, but take some comfort on knowing that it will stop with the arrival of your new little one at the latest. Good luck!

It happened to me throughout my entire pregnancy with my son.. I asked the doctor and she said I was healthy and it happens bc of the blood flow going to your brain.. Your uterus is growing and it demands more blood.. They also recommended that I didn't take hot showers or baths bc that just increases the blood flow!! I was getting dizzy and practically fainting in the shower.. They said to reduce heat, keep the door open, and try not to take showers alone!! Good luck mama!! It ***** but it will get better!! Drink much more water and take your time with getting up and moving around :)

It happened to me alot during my second trimester. Stay hydrated and rest. It should pass. If not, make sure to let your doctor know.

I would definitely ask your doc.  Usually light headiness and dizziness are not normal.
