I have been pretty dizzy as well, mine is because i have low blood pressure. I get dizzy anyways, but since i have been pregnant it has increased for sure. Hope you feel better soon .........
Feeling Dizzy
Today while I was sitting down eating breakfast, my son leaned up against me and it made me feel dizzy and off balance.
Then just now when I was vaccuuming I got dizzy again and had to sit down because I felt like I might fall over.
I haven't had anything exactly like this before. When I was pregnant with DS I got a mild dizzy feeling around when I conceived, and once felt dizzy and faint in a very hot laundry room. Nothing like what is happening today. Anyone else experiencing this? What would cause this?

I had something similar happen to me this past weekend. It was about 9:30 am and i hadn't eaten anything yet. I came downstairs and all of a sudden got REALLY dizzy. I sat down with my head between my legs and thought for a while that i was going to pass out. Luckily, I didn't pass out but after the episode was over, i was covered in sweat. I also had a really tight feeling in my lower abdomen for the rest of the day. I was nervous and called my midwife. She didn't really have any answers for me. She said it could have been due to low blood sugar since I was late to eat breakfast. She also said that sometimes it is due to a drop in blood pressure. She told me to relax for the rest of the day, eat lots of protein, and to call her if i had another similar episode. I haven't had one since.
I hope you are feeling better. I am not sure what causes this but my midwife didn't seem too concerned. I had eaten lots of sugar the night before (very unusual for me) and hadn't had much protein for dinner. So, maybe it has to do with diet?????

Hmm, my breakfast wasn't too late this morning. And it was 2 eggs and a whole wheat pancake. So probably not the blood sugar issue. But maybe low blood pressure. I was just reading some stuff online that says mid-pregnancy low pressure is completely normal and sometimes can get dizzy if your body hasn't adjusted completely. So that's interesting. I'll see how it goes I guess, and sit down if I need to. I don't think I need to call my midwife yet, but will if it gets excessive.
I get dizzy from time to time with no apparent cause or reason. It never happend with my daughter, but happens with this pregnancy every few weeks or so. I dont' have any answers for you, but it appears you are not alone with the strange dizziness symptomes.
Dizziness is common during pregnancy...I *just* asked my MW about this on Mon morning but I got sidetracked after her answer (about my high blood pressure that) that I totally forgot what she said it was about... Sorry!
