Feeling a little wobbly, mama-to-be? Dizziness during pregnancy is common, often caused by hormonal changes, increased blood volume, and even lying on your back. Usually, it's nothing to fret about – just take it easy, hydrate, and eat regularly to keep your blood sugar stable.
However, knowing when to seek medical advice is crucial. **When should you be worried about dizziness during pregnancy?** Pay attention if your dizziness is severe, persistent, or accompanied by any of these red flags:
* **Blurred vision or headaches:** Could indicate preeclampsia.
* **Chest pain or palpitations:** Could be heart-related.
* **Vaginal bleeding or abdominal pain:** May signal a more serious issue.
* **Fainting or loss of consciousness:** Always requires immediate attention.
* **Sudden swelling in your hands, face, or feet.**
Trust your instincts. If something feels off, don't hesitate to contact your doctor or midwife. It's always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to your health and your baby's well-being!
