Fainting spells during first trimester?

Is it normal to feel lightheaded and fainting spells during your first trimester? Other symptoms I experienced include feeling shortness of breath, dark vision, breaking out in full sweat, and heaviness of body. It gets better after I’m seated with my head low, but it just doesn’t feel good. I have history of low BP in the past but this usually only happens like once a year, but now it has happened to me for the past 2 mornings while I’m in the train commuting to work. Should I be worried? Does it warrant medical attention? #firstimemom #firsttrimester

i did have fainting spell for my 3 boys , the last one is the worse till i gave birth also i faint at the labour ward while pushing.. but my gynae said this is normal as i have no high or low bp and healthy upon monthly check.. But if u really worry u can just speak up to yr doctor about this.. It can be scary if u faint when u are at work or in MRT..
