Giddiness at 12W

Currently at 12W1D today and I've been feeling very lightheaded these days. Looking down at my phone or standing for too long makes me want to faint. And i feel super full even after eating a small portion. Any recommendations on how to overcome this? Thanks in advance!

Don’t worry, you are not alone! It’s normal cos I started experiencing this at 12 weeks too. I’m almost at 18 weeks now, My lightheadedness hits at very random timings and even though my blood pressure is healthy, it still happens quite frequently. It’s just one of those things that happen as your baby is using up a lot of blood to grow too :) there are some days I feel like I can eat for a village and some days I just don’t get hungry. stay hydrated and get up slowly if you’re sitting/squatting/lying down.
