Light headed!!
Hi everyone hope your all feeling well and nearly ready for christmas!! Just wondering if any one suffers from light headedness and dizzy spells, i am 16+2 wks and this has happened twice now, once in tesco a couple of weeks ago where i went all light headed, buzzing in ears and broke out in a sweat the checkout lady had to help me to a seat just before my legs went, and a similar thing in debenhams today. As soon as i sit down and have a drink i am fine, it always happens at the checkout which is rather embarrasing!!
Anyway i have my booking in on wednesday and will mention this to the midwife, i think it will be something to do with blood pressure, Oh well just seeing if anyone else has this, take care nat xx

Exactly the same thing happened to me once! I was about 18 weeks I think, walking around tesco doing the shopping then the minute I got to the checkout I went all fuzzy, and had to ask if there was somewhere I could sit down as I felt faint! As soon as I sat down and had a drink I was fine, it's just one of those things, where your blood etc has more places to travel to now.
I always knew I'd had have dizzy spells during pregnancy as I've had problems with fainting throughout my life (and have been tested for numerous things but I'm fine!), it's nothing to worry about. If you're susceptable to it there's nothing you can do!
Hope you're well apart from that x
I am the same i get very hot and feel faint. I have fainted once during the pregnancy which has left me feeling very nervous about going out incase it happens again as it was so scary. I always carry a drink with me and some sweets and try not to do too much.
