Did you have dizziness and nausea at the end of your pregnancy?

I've had lightheadedness for a few weeks and the doctors said it could be the position of the baby, dehydration, or just the demands of my blood system and things not working efficiently.

However today, at nearly 39 weeks, I had a major dizzy spell and can't seem to get back to feeling right. I also have some nausea and I've been a little sick to my stomach.

I have an appointment today but looking to gather some thoughts in the meantime...

I had this. I was being monitored for potential pre-e. Thankfully I never developed pre-e but they had me on bed rest and were watching me closely. Toward the end of my pregnancy I was nauseous and throwing up every night and I would get dizzy and feel dehydrated. I would say to put your feet up and drink lots of water. Lay down as much as possible and eat right. Good luck and hope you LO comes soon!

I am not glad you had it but glad to hear a similar experience. I have terrible anxiety so it's hard for me to shrug it off. It makes me constantly paranoid it will happen again and also makes me worry that it could be a sign of some terrible illness unrelated to the pregnancy!

I had the exact same thing and was exactly the same way, always super paranoid.

Toward the end of my pregnancy I was super dizzy a lot and even got the whole seeing stars thing & was constantly nauseous again. I had myself convinced I had pre-e or something terrible but nope, I was fine just need to drink lots of water and make sure to keep your blood sugar levels up. The Dr's are seeing you on a weekly basis now and will more than likely catch anything so just try not to stress but I know it can be hard! :)

I had this too, I threw up more the last two weeks I was pregnant than the first three months.
