Anyone else have Vertigo problems?

My ears have been feeling funny for a few days and I've been getting dizzy spells. Obviously, I don't want to be falling down all over the place while pregnant, or otherwise.

Anybody else having or have had this problem? I just feel like crap in general these days anyway but this could be dangerous if I fell.

Speaking of feeling crappy, my sister's co-worker is 21 weeks pregnant with a singleton and just walked/ran in a half marathon! Her doctor told her it was ok as along as she listened to her body. I feel like such a wuss. I sit around feeling poopy everyday and she's doing half marathons.

 

I had really bad dizzy spells to the point I was almost fainting. Things would start to go blurry and black and I would start sweating even if it was cold. I usually just went and sat down. It usually only happened at work. Only once I actually fainted while walking to the store. My doctor decided it was time for me to go on medical leave from work and it pretty much stopped. I noticed it was only if I was overdoing and working, running after a 5 year old and doing the day to day stuff was just too much. Now I can rest if I need to and it works.
Talk to your doctor about it and see what they say.

 

I have no advice about the vertigo, that's one thing I haven't had to deal with - who knew, seems like I have every weird thing! But I wanted to say do NOT feel like a wuss...I say that a lot too, but really it is so impossible to compare ourselves in any way to mothers of singletons. I mean, twice as much weight, that's not a small thing! As we get farther and farther along more of the uncomfortable side effects are driven by size/weight, so we just get more of them and get them worse. Not fun, but definitely the way it is! So hang in there.

 

Thank you! My dizzy spells seems to happen at work, too, for the most part. I get it a lot in the bathroom.

And yes, everyone is different. I shouldn't let that bother me!

 

Hi! I have been having the same spells with my world going black as well. I am a stay at home mom running after a 31 month old all day. I talked to my ob about it yesterday and she thinks I may not be getting enough protein. She suggested I eat some cheese/peanut butter/handful of nuts etc every two to three hours. I have tried to do so today and will keep trying. Hopefully that will stop the spells. God knows that the last thing I need is to faint while alone with a (currently being potty trained) toddler .....shudder!
