light headed

I've been feeling light headed the past 3 days, to the point I need to sit down if I'm standing. My stomach also feels "off" like I'm going to be nauseous bit I'm not... Although I did have diarrhea today. Any thoughts on why this is happening?

Yeah it does just means your iron levels are low. You feelings extra tired as well? Even though i know pregnancy knocks you out anyway. I'd just ask if it's a posibility because iron tablets would sort you out after a day or two i bet.

No I haven't been tested for that. Does this sounds like some of the symptoms for it?

Yea I've been trying to drink more water in case that's it. It seems to happen all through out the day... Right away on the morning when I'm getting ready, then at work and again when home at night. My husband asked if I'm eating enough but last night it was after I had just eaten dinner.
