Dizzy/lightheaded....normal?

[catsarecute]

I've had a dizzy feeling since last night. The room isn't spinning or anything but I just feel "off" in my head. Is this one of the many lovely symptoms I should get used to experiencing?

How far along are you? If you're in first tri, you can probaby blame morning sickness. Otherwise, are you getting enough water? I kind of get googly if I'm not hydrated enough.

I just got a BFP on Friday. I'm chugging water. My stomach isn't so much upset (I was feeling queasy this morning) but my head is all googly! Good word, by the way!

I think that happens too because your body is adjusting to all the new blood flow going on. I think I was this way till about 11 weeks.

Haha. We use words like 'googly' and 'wibbly wobbly' to describe feeling funny in the head. Kind of weirdos, I know.

I'd say that yeah, if you just got your BFP, you can definitely blame the pregnancy. Those early stages do weird stuff with your hormones.

I've experienced that some especially when standing for long periods of time. My doc says to drink a lot of water and eat more protein.

My midwife said this is completely normal. It's pretty much gone away for me since 12-13 weeks.

Very normal.

Have a snack, drink some water.

Normal. Enjoy ;-)

No, really tho, stay hydrated and fed. And be kind to yourself.

Thank you everyone! As someone who NEVER thought I would be in this position, I'm trying to enjoy it and really, these weird symptoms just mean my body is doing what it is supposed to do! I hope I don't turn into that annoying person who freaks out at everything!

Ummm, we've all been there.  First tri is a mindfuck in it's own way. Good attitude tho; trying to enjoy it really has served me well.  Except for today. lol  Today can suck it.

Also if it happens after you stand up from sitting or bending over, make sure you do these things slowly! I was getting this a lot while I was planting in the garden earlier this summer.

Normal. I had it bad in the shower/right after showering every morning.

I get this a lot now. I find if I drink water and get fresh air or lay down I get back to normal.

Getting fresh air totally helped today! I need to make sure I'm going outside more often at work!
