Woke up and feel that whenever i try to walk straight line, I will start to walk towards my left side or right side. Anyone experiencing the same as me?

Oh yes, a few of us in my mum group went through something very similar around the second trimester, the wobbly walking feeling is actually more common than you think! It can be due to hormonal changes, increased blood volume, or even pressure on your inner ear, all of which affect your balance. What some of us found helpful was making sure to get up slowly from bed or a seated position, staying well hydrated, and not skipping meals to keep blood sugar stable. One thing to watch out for though, if the dizziness comes with swelling and high blood pressure, that's a red flag worth taking seriously as it could point to something like preeclampsia. Definitely worth bringing this up with your gynae or doctor soon so they can rule out anything more serious and give you the right advice for your situation!
