Dizziness During Pregnancy
Feeling lightheaded, dizzy and faint at times during the day is a normal occurrence during pregnancy. As the body undergoes changes to accommodate a baby, the variation in blood pressure, sugar levels and hormones causes you to feel dizzy every now and then.
Pregnancy And Dizziness
Feeling faint and nauseous can begin as early as two weeks after conception or start after two months. Dizziness, accompanied by morning sickness, and nausea at other times during the day can be an indicator of pregnancy. The body’s physiological changes can cause women to get disoriented and feel a sense of vertigo that makes expectant women feel like they’re about to fall or faint at times. The cause for dizziness during early pregnancy depends on how far along the mother is, and it ranges from feeling light headed to fainting.
Is It Normal To Feel Dizzy During Pregnancy?
Yes, it is absolutely normal. Dizziness affects nearly 75% of pregnant women in varying degrees. It is a common feature during the first trimester but can continue throughout the pregnancy in some women.
Causes
The cause for dizziness varies throughout pregnancy depending on the stage of pregnancy.
Dizziness during early pregnancy is caused due to the high levels of hormones in the body as it prepares to increase blood supply to the expanding circulatory system. The hormone progesterone dilates the blood vessels which causes the blood pressure to drop and make you feel dizzy. Dizziness is also made worse if you have anemia, nausea, frequent vomiting and dehydration
As the pregnancy progresses, there are more fluids in your system (including blood) to nourish the developing baby. This can cause an increase in the blood pressure which leads to dizziness and headaches.
In the third trimester, actions such as prolonged sitting or lying down cause the weight of the baby to put pressure on a large vein in the right-hand side of the body called the inferior vena cava. This vein transports blood from the lower limbs and a pressure on it restricts the blood flow making you dizzy.
External temperature and overheating can add to the problems as presence of the baby increases the normal body temperature by one degree.
Dizziness can be due to uneven blood sugar levels caused by conditions such as gestational diabetes. On rare occasions, dizziness might be a sign of a more serious problem such as bleeding from the placenta or an ectopic pregnancy.
Things To Do When You Suddenly Feel Dizzy
You can do the following when you feel dizzy:
When you feel dizzy, sit down to avoid a fall. If you can, sit with your head between your knees. Also, sit down or get up slowly; sudden movements worsen dizziness.
If you have a chance to lie down, do so on your left side. This increases the blood supply to your brain and makes you feel better.
Dizziness can also be due to low blood sugar if you have gone a while without eating. Get a quick healthy snack and top it off with some water or fresh fruit juice to boost your energy levels.
Waves of dizziness can often happen to many women during pregnancy. The best thing to do would be to stop what you are doing, sit or lie down and wait for it to pass.
Remedies To Alleviate Dizziness
To reduce dizziness during pregnancy:
Avoid quick movements like getting up too fast or springing up out of the bed.
Do not lie on your back for too long. Change positions often and try to lie more on your left side.
Eat regularly and stay hydrated. Substitute sugar-rich foods with healthy snacks.
Avoid overheating that happens when you take a hot water bath or spend time in crowded places.
Go easy on workouts. Stressing yourself can cause you to overheat or hyperventilate which can both lead to dizziness.
Is Feeling Dizzy Harmful For Your Pregnancy?
Dizziness is not harmful on its own. Light headedness which can lead to fainting can be dangerous as there is a chance you might fall and injure yourself. Follow the above-mentioned procedures when feeling dizzy.
When To Get The Help From Your Doctor?
Dizziness, once in a while, from heat or movement or hunger is normal in pregnancy. However, if it is frequent and coupled with symptoms such as severe headaches, blurred vision, palpitations, impaired speech, numbness, chest pain, shortness of breath, tingling and vaginal bleeding, immediate medical help should be sought. In early pregnancy if dizziness is followed by abdominal pain and a racing pulse, it could be an indication of a ruptured ectopic pregnancy. It is a medical emergency and should be dealt with immediately.
Conclusion: Learning to recognise your symptoms early on and taking precautionary measures can help reduce your dizziness. If that does not work, it is time to call your doctor and get it checked. Read more

छोटी सी लापरवाही आपके बच्चे के लिए जानलेवा हो सकती है ..ज़रा सोचिए
"अरे सुधा तुम करती क्या हो, सारा दिन देखो ऑफिस के लिए लेट हो रहा हूँ और शर्ट में बटन नहीं है तुम ध्यान नहीं रखती", उमेश आगबबूला हो रहा था | "ये लो दूसरी शर्ट पहन लो, आज लगा दूँगी, वो गोलू सारा दिन तंग करता है तुम्हें तो पता है ना अभी अभी बैठना सीखा है तो उसका ध्यान रखना पड़ता है, सोता भी नहीं है, अगर मैं साथ सोती हूँ तभी सोता है, मेरे उठने पर तुरंत जाग जाता है, अभी 9 महीने का ही तो है ध्यान तो रखना ही पड़ेगा ना" | "बहाने मत बनाओ सुधा, तुम्हें बस गोलू का बहाना चाहिए वो कौन सा तुम्हारे हाथ से बटन छीन लेगा मुझे कुछ नहीं सुनना, आज शाम तक सारे शर्ट के बटन लग जाने चाहिए, कितनी शर्ट ऐसे ही पड़ी है", उमेश गुस्से से पैर पटक कर बाहर चला गया ।
बेचारी सुधा गोलू को गोद में लेकर काम करने लगी, एकल परिवार होने के कारण सारा दिन बस गोलू की देखभाल में ही चला जाता था, वो एक मिनट भी उसे अकेला नहीं छोड़ती थी उसे पता था कि छोटे बच्चे कितनी केयर मांगते है पर आज उमेश की बातें उसके दिल में घर कर गईं थी, उसने गोलू को नहलाया और उसे दूध पिलाकर कमरे में फर्श पर बैठा दिया, उसके सामने उसके खिलोने रख दिये गोलू भी खुश होकर खेलने लगा तो सुधा ने सोचा चलो अब उमेश की शर्ट में बटन लगा देती हूं, अब उमेश का ताना नहीं सुनना, उसने शर्ट निकाल कर रखी और खुद भी गोलू के पास बैठ गयी, पास में सुई और धागे का डब्बा रखा था जिसमें बटन भी थे । सुधा मगन होकर शर्ट पर बटन लगा रही थी |
गोलू भी अपने खिलौने से खेलने में मस्त था । लगभग सभी शर्ट में बटन लगाने का काम हो गया था, आख़िरी शर्ट बची थी तभी गोलू रोने लगा शायद उसने सु सु कर दिया था, सुधा उसका कच्छा लेने थोड़ी देर अंदर गयी, वापस आकर देखा तो गोलू को सांस लेने में तकलीफ हो रही थी, वो फर्श पर पड़ा जोर जोर से रो रहा था | सुधा ने देखा कि उसके हाथ में कुछ बटन थे, सुधा जोर से चिल्लाई उसे समझ आ गया था कि गोलू ने बटन निगल लिया है, उसने उसे बैठाया और उसकी पीठ पर मुक्के मारे लेकिन गोलू की तबियत बिगड़ रही थी, उसने समझदारी दिखाते हुए फौरन अपना बैग उठाया और गोलू को लेकर पास के हॉस्पिटल में पहूँचीं | डॉक्टर ने बिना किसी देर किए गोलू को इमरजेंसी में ले जाकर उसका बटन निकाला | वो तो सुधा की समझदारी थी कि वो बिना देर किए गोलू को हॉस्पिटल ले गयी, वरना कोई भी हादसा हो सकता था ।
दोस्तों, छोटे बच्चों को देखभाल की बहुत जरूरत होती है, उनके प्रति जरा सी लापरवाही बच्चे की जान को मुसीबत में डाल सकती है | छोटे बच्चे को एक मिनट भी अकेला छोड़ना कितना खतरनाक हो सकता है | छोटे बच्चों की आदत होती है कि वो आस पास पड़ी चीजों को मुँह में देते है । इसलिए अगर आप छोटे बच्चे की माँ है तो उस पर बहुत ही ध्यान देने की जरूरत है, बच्चा सो जाए तो अपने काम करिये, फिर भी बीच बीच में उस पर नज़र रखिये या उसके पास किसी को बैठा कर जाए | छोटे बच्चों को अकेला बिल्कुल ना छोड़े, पहले बच्चा जरूरी है, काम नहीं । समझदारी जरूरी है, लापरवाही नहीं ।
