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!!
