I got very dizzy in the beginning of my second trimester. I remember being about 16 weeks and we were waiting to be seated at a restaurant - after about 10 minutes of standing I had to ask the hostess if I could sit down anywhere until our table was ready or else I would have passed out. This happened again at my husband's holiday work party a couple weeks later. Basically I just had to make sure I had snacks and a bottle of water on me at all times. It went away probably around 19 or 20 weeks. I've heard the reason is since your baby is taking extra resources, your body is just trying to keep up with pumping extra blood!

I had this happen a few times during pregnancy. I couldn't really tell what brought it on, but I definitely felt like I was going to faint. I think I remember reading that it's pretty common due to changes in blood volume and blood pressure during pregnancy.

Sounds like vertigo, do you have an ear infection or anything that might cause that?

Pretty sure this is normal. I've had this from about week nine on, I still get dizzy and nauseated if I am on my feet too long, like at the grocery store. I have to sit down and rest every once in a while.
