Thank you for the feedback! So it is normal to experience a spell for several hours?! I've woken up this morning feeling better but am scared of its return as it was rotten!! The other problem is I don't know if I'm experiencing pregnancy symptoms or feel off because I'm on holiday - yesterday I felt exhausted, even feeding myself was an effort but I don't know if it's because I've been lazing about all week or if it's the pregnancy!! Same for the vertigo not sure if it's triggered by baby or if I just laid down too much yesterday!!?? The problem yesterday was the only thing that made me feel ok was laying down!!!
Trying to do a bit more today and trying to eat plenty of fruit! It's been hard to eat well here for fear of getting ill!
All in all though as rotten as it is it's the most wonderful feeling in the world!! Looking forward now to getting home so I can feel a bit 'safer' the flight is worrying me but as far as I can see there's little risk!?
I've not experienced vertigo as a symptom of pregnancy. It might be due to some other factor - a bug you've picked up perhaps? In any case, as far as I know the only treatment for it is rest (most likely horizontal & in the dark) so you're doing all you can.
I remember feeling excessively tired in the first trimester of both my pregnancies. Take it easy and rest as much as you need
Congratulations! This is my second pregnancy and I've suffered from extreme dizziness and faintness, including blacking-out from around 6-10 weeks both times. My understanding is that it is caused by low blood pressure which results from extra progesterone dilating your blood vessels. It's horrible and there is not a lot you can do except ride it out. It would be worth checking with the doctor, though, to confirm that is what it is
Looking forward to getting back so I can see the dr!! The dizziness has come back now-not as bad as yesterday but just coming on in waves!! Just trying to remind myself now it's for a very good cause!!
