...it takes some time for it to get back to the heart. There is a drop in blood pressure which can leave you feeling faint.

If you are not eating properly due to morning sickness or of you are unable to keep down the food you eat, you may become hypoglycaemic due to the low amount of sugar in your blood. To battle this problem you could try to eat small meals during the day and make sure to drink at least ten glasses of water supplemented by fruit juices as well.

Causes for Light-headedness During Pregnancy

Pregnancy light headedness can also be caused if you are anaemic as the number of red blood cells to the heart and other organs of the body are lower in number. Iron deficiency happens to be the most common cause for anaemia and you may consume a diet rich in iron including green leafy vegetables and supplement your diet with iron supplements and vitamins after consulting with your regular health care provider.

Other factors for pregnancy light headedness are allergies, hyperventilation, internal bleeding, acute anxiety and substance abuse. Sudden shocks or surprises in terms of both good and bad news can also bring on an attack of light headedness. Try not to spend time in an overheated room or take too many hot baths as the heat can dilate the blood vessels causing your blood pressure to drop and subsequently a feeling of wooziness. If you are used to lying on your back, you may want to change the position to lying on your left side as otherwise the pressure on your back can compress the pelvis and the inferior vena cava. Nausea, anxiety and light headedness are all signs that you must change your position immediately but slowly.

Remedies for Light-headedness During Pregnancy

Ginger tea or rodiola tea are good remedies to reduce the feeling of light headedness as they can be absorbed really fast into the body. Avoid smoking, alcohol and other substance intake as it can aggravate your condition and affect the health of your child as well. Avoid clothes that are tight around your stomach and consult your doctor immediately if your dizzy spells occur too often and if you actually faint away.
