Dizziness and fatigue in early pregnancy

Pregnancy is a great yet difficult process. Pregnant women suffer a lot during pregnancy. But every time mothers see their baby, they will feel very happy. Many pregnant women experience dizziness, nausea, drowsiness and fatigue during pregnancy. In fact, these are all normal phenomena. Many pregnant women will have sallow faces and sleepless nights due to pregnancy reactions. So what should you do if you feel dizzy and weak in early pregnancy? Let’s take a look at it together!

1. Dizziness in early pregnancy generally has no adverse consequences

During the first stage of pregnancy, the expectant mother will gradually experience different degrees of physical changes after becoming pregnant. If not handled properly, different symptoms will appear, and dizziness is the most common one. Assuming it happens in the first few months, there are generally no adverse consequences.

Two reasons for dizziness in early pregnancy:

(1) The autonomic nervous system of expectant mothers is unstable, and when the body position changes suddenly, they may experience dizziness due to transient cerebral ischemia. This kind of dizziness is generally not serious and will be fine after a short rest. (2) Because of the reaction after becoming pregnant, you eat less and usually have low blood sugar, which can easily cause dizziness and blurred vision. This is especially likely to happen when standing up immediately or in a hot environment. If this happens, take a break immediately. If this happens frequently, then you have low blood pressure/high blood pressure and need to see a doctor promptly.

2. In the later stages of pregnancy, the main cause is anemia

Black eyes occur in the middle stage of pregnancy mostly because of a short circuit between the arteries and veins of the placenta, which causes the expectant mother's diastolic blood pressure to decrease compared to before pregnancy, and the blood vessels in the entire pelvic area become significantly larger and taller during pregnancy, causing more blood to be concentrated around the lower abdomen with the uterus, resulting in a decrease in the amount of blood returning to the heart, resulting in a decrease in cardiac output, causing hypotension and transient cerebral ischemia.

If black eyes occur in the late stages of pregnancy, especially when there are edema, high blood pressure and other symptoms, it should not be underestimated. It is usually a precursor to some serious complications such as eclampsia. You need to see a doctor immediately, otherwise the consequences will be extremely serious.

Through the above knowledge, new mothers should understand a lot about why they feel dizzy in early pregnancy and take preventive measures.
