What could this be?!?!

[Catastrophic]

I'm almost 17weeks pregnant...
When i'm walking around the shops or work or walking to take kids into school (after driving there first) after a while i start to feel really light headed and nauseated and sometimes also have a huge headache withit as well...

It's getting to the point that i am dreading walking around the shops because i know how bad i'll feel afterwards.

Has anyone else experianced this and know what it is?

Could just be your blood sugar level? You can always ring your doctor and talk to them about it?

There is one particular shop we sometimes go to and I felt the same. I put it down to the smell of the meat counter :-) Only in that one shop!

Could it be something unconcious like that? Maybe your body just doesn't like some foods at the moment and the smell is getting to you?

this happened to me when my blood pressure was low. Make sure u are getting enough sleep and enough to eat. If it continues, go see your doc coz u dont want to faint as it can be dangerous for you and your baby.

At around 18/19 weeks I had lots of headaches (migraines too) faintness etc. It can be associated with low blood pressure, also softening of ligaments. Drink lots of water. And if I didn't eat I would faint at the shops. Had many emergency trips to Donut King! Also flourescent lights can cause dizziness and migraine/headaches. x

I had the same thing and it was my blood pressure. Next time pop into the chemist and they can do a quick BP check for you. It might be nothing but it can be serious.
