Dizzy spells
I am only 6 weeks along and having really bad dizzy spells I had one on Saturday that lasted 4 hours, I was fine on Sunday then I woke up today for work and it was back it's really interfering with my work. Any tips on how to stop them. I take my time getting out of bed but sometimes I'll be standing like at work and it just hits me.
My dr just gave me two weeks off to rest. He wanted me off longer but I really can't afford that. Luckily my work has short term disablity. Otherwise they weren't really helpful.
I am also 6 weeks and have been constantly light headed and dizzy. The increase in red blood cell production and focus of the blood cells to the baby is taking away from the amount of blood reaching the brain. I haven't really found any solutions besides lots of water and rest. I also read somewhere that when the feeling gets really bad to contract your ab muscles and it's supposed to help prevent actually passing out. If you find anything else that works I'd love to know... Goodluck to you!!
