10 weeks pregnant and experiencing dizzyness?

Question

Now I have been pregnant before, which was rocky with my now 17 month old daughter, Emili I never felt dizzyness- well at least not in the first trimester of pregnancy. I recently [tuesday] hit th 10 week mark with my little baby- to be named Erik or Erika so has this happened to anyone else and should i see a doctor? My husband is worried.

Answer 1

Dizziness is pretty common--especially at the beginning. It could be caused by a number of things-- High/low blood sugar, high blood pressure, anemia, standing up too soon. If your dizziness is on a pretty normal basis, then you need to talk to your doctor. With this pregnancy, I started having alot of dizziness, but once I switched to a prescription prenatal vitamin (Tandem OB) with extra iron than my old ones, I felt waaaay better. So if you won't be seeing the doctor for another couple weeks (whenever you have your first appointment..?), just be sure you are taking a regular prenatal vitamin and are getting plenty of iron. And don't forget to drink lots of water, too. Good luck!

Answer 2

It is a sign for high blood pressure. You can call your doctor if you'd like- BUT not every pregnancy is the same. You may not have gotten dizzyness with your last pregnancy but it is still possible to get it with any following pregnancies. I didn't feel dizzyness with my son but with this pregnancy (I am 8 weeks) I feel it every once in awhile.. so there is a good chance that it is just another symptom of pregnancy. But if it would ease you and your husband's worries then I suggest calling your doctor.

nine eirly symptoms of pregnancy

1. Fatigue – you no longer have stamina for usual activities, such as walking up a hill or staying awake until midnight. This is because your body is demanding huge amounts of energy to make the changes for pregnancy.

2. Nausea and vomiting – morning sickness may be confused with the flu or feeling like you're "coming down with something." You may feel queasy, have nausea all day long, or vomit and have dry heaves. (See Morning Sickness)

3. Missed menstrual period. While nonpregnancy-related issues, such as stress, can cause you to miss a period, this is a first sign of pregnancy, too.

4. Slight staining or spotting. Bleeding at the time of implantation can be mistaken for menstruation. Some women have bleeding in the early months of pregnancy at the time when they would have menstruated.

5. Aversions to odors, alcohol, and smoke. Once you are pregnant, baby-protective mechanisms click in. You will notice how coffee, alcohol, and cigarette smoke make you ill.

6. Food cravings. Once you become pregnant, you may mysteriously crave foods that you seldom ate before. Your tastes may change from sweet to salty or vice versa.

7. Breast changes. The changes are similar to premenstrual feelings in your breasts only more dramatic: nipples tingle, breasts feel tender and fuller, the areola begins to darken, and tiny glands on the areola enlarge.

8. Crampy pelvic discomfort. This discomfort may be felt throughout the lower abdomen and pelvis. (A sharp one-sided pain is not normal and your doctor should be notified.)

9. Frequent urination. From the beginning, you will urinate more often due to pregnancy hormones. (Later on, you will have frequent urination because of pressure on the bladder from the enlarging uterus.)

Answer 4

dizzyness is pretty normal. have you gone off of any medications due to your pregnancy? when i found out i was pregnant, i immediatly went off of my anxiety prescription, which made me extremely dizzy for a week or so. I'd call the dr anyway- you'll speak to the nurse on the phone, she'll ask a few qu's and tell the dr. if he/she's concerned he/she'll tell you to come in. if not, they'll tell you to take it easy and be careful-- stay hydrated, etc.. it only takes a minute to make the call and you'll put your mind at ease!

Answer 5

high blood pressure or low blood sugar could be the reason for dizzyness. if your really worried call and talk to a nurse at your doc office. but really i think you should be fine, i get dizzy a lot and my doc says just lay down with a fan or something, or try eating somthing sugary.

Answer 6

Dizziness can be normal but could also mean something more serious. I got really dizzy in 4th month and it was because I was dehydrated. So call your doctor just to be sure and make sure you are getting plenty of fluids.

Answer 7

i got dizzy around the same time was it when you got up realy fast were you lazy that day if so it just may be low BP or low sugar but you should call your DR always and make an apt.

Answer 8

I got dizzy alot wth my last baby, I think its normal, but call your doc anyway.
