    During my first trimester I passed out everyday from dehydration and no food. I have been told though (from IVF clinic I think) that it can sometimes happen if all of a sudden you get a sudden rush of blood to your uterus and hence you arent getting enough to your brain! If you are worried perhaps bring it up but the best way to get the blood back to your brain is to lay down with your feet elevated above head level. it can be pretty scary though

    Try the notebook trick then. Take a pad of paper or notebook everywhere with you and when you think of something you need to do wrt house move and car sales/purchse write it down. Then give yourself an hour a day in which to deal with what is written down. It really helped my dizzy spells doing this. Also keep a packet of lollies with you to give yourself a sugar shot if you feel faint. But mention to your midwife that you are feeling like this because she will be able to rule out anything medical being the cause of these dizzy spells.
