How to deal with dizziness during pregnancy
?I had been working from home and I remember getting up from bed. I had to catch myself against the wall as my knee buckled,? recalls Jasvinder Sandhu, who was six months pregnant at the time with her second child. ?My eyes went black and I thought I was going to faint.?
She thankfully didn?t faint. ?Fortunately, my mother-in-law was also there, and she brought me some crackers and soda,? recalls Sandhu. She immediately called her doctor, who told her to relax and take it easy.
Sandhu had also experienced dizziness early in her first pregnancy, after spending long hours working at her desk as a lawyer in Toronto. ?I felt more worry the first time,? she says. ?What if there?s something wrong with me, what if there?s something wrong with the baby"? Dizziness during pregnancy is actually quite normal and can often be treated and prevented with lifestyle changes. Here?s what you need to know.
What causes dizziness during pregnancy"
The cause of dizziness during pregnancy can depend on which trimester you are in, explains Nicole Todd, an obstetrician at the B.C. Women?s Hospital & Health Centre in Vancouver. During the first trimester, dizziness could be related to morning sickness. Pregnant women often can?t keep food or liquids down and feel weak and dizzy as a result, explains Todd.Â
