Dizziness, feeling faint. Currently at Week 17
Hi all, i noticed that i easily feel dizzy/faint after taking a walk. Im generally smaller in size. I weigh abt 42kg right now. I have done my blood tests and everything is ok. Is there anything else i need to check on or is this normal for pregnant women?

Dizziness in pregnancy is pretty common, especially if you're petite like you, but since you're already feeling faint after just a walk it's worth bringing up with your PD or OB to rule out anything else like low blood pressure or iron levels that might not have shown up in routine blood tests. In the meantime, make sure you're drinking enough water, eating regularly, and not pushing yourself too hard on walks, getting up slowly from sitting or lying down helps too. Your doctor might want to do a more specific check on your blood pressure readings or recheck your iron since dizziness after light activity isn't something to brush off.
