If you are asking whether dizziness can be a sign of pregnancy, you should know that in some cases, it can be.
Nonetheless usually women experience this symptom during the later stages. Remember that this isn’t a classic symptom of pregnancy. Some of the classic symptoms include missed menstrual period, nausea and vomiting.
What causes dizziness?
It is a known fact that during this period the blood volume of the body could increase by 50%. As a result the capacity of the lungs decreases.
Because of this you could experience shortness of breath that could be accompanied by dizziness from time to time.
What can you do about it?
There are different kinds of tricks that you could use to make dizziness better. One of them is to avoid standing on your feet for longer periods of time.
If you have to, make sure that you move around a bit to increase the circulation in the legs. The same thing applies if you have to sit for longer periods of time.
If you experience dizziness during pregnancy you should make sure that you get up slowly if you have been sitting or lying.
This tip is very important when you get out of the bathtub. Your nutrition is also important in this case. Have your meals regularly. It is also not good to let too much time pass between the meals.
During your pregnancy, it’s not such a good idea to have hot baths or showers. Once you get to your second trimester, you shouldn’t be lying on your back anymore. If you are used to sleeping in this position you should start getting used to sleeping on your side, preferably on the left one.
The clothing that you wear is also important if you are affected by dizziness while being pregnant.
