dizziness, hot flashes, fainting feeling??

[brittanybatten]

I will be 7 weeks on Tuesday. I have been keeping hydrated and eating healthy. But i keep getting these feelings. I went to a shopping center today and drank a bottle of water before i entered the store... not even a half hour later i got really hot and dizzy and felt like i was going to faint... is this normal or what can i do to make it stop??

It is common. It happens to me & all of my tests came back great. My doc said to try to eat mostly protein in the a.m & afternoon as opposed to sugary foods. Also, move or get up slower. I tend to have to sit every 15-20 minutes to avoid the feeling.

I fainted at work twice in my first pregnancy so I know better now lol

That's how I always felt in my first trimester. I would just not walk around for long periods and stay away from crowds. I'm 12wks nd I still get those feelings .

Hm, that is strange.  Well, I'd call your doctor to let him know.  It could just be your reaction to hormones but I don't want to think of you fainting for real and falling.  Tell your doctor's office what is going on and see if they have any suggestions for you.

Everything came back normal from the dr. I munch almost every 2~4 hours plus my 3 full sized meals. And i drink plenty of water.

Hi there.  Sorry this happened!  If you fall when feeling faint, that is dangerous so you are right to want to resolve this.  Are you eating enough?  Is your blood sugar plummeting?  Blood pressure going high?  

When is your first doctor's appointment?
