After pregnancy, one's mood can be very complicated, with both happy emotions and many worries. From the beginning of pregnancy, it is necessary to be vigilant at all times to prevent adverse effects on the development of the fetus. Some women may experience a lot of discomfort in the early stages of pregnancy, and dizziness is quite common. So, why do they feel dizzy in the early stages of pregnancy?
During early and mid pregnancy, due to the formation of the placenta, many pregnant women experience a decrease in blood pressure, especially for those with pre-existing hypertension. The magnitude of blood pressure drop is even greater in the early stages of pregnancy. Once blood pressure drops, the blood flow to the brain decreases, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the brain and causing ischemia and hypoxia, which can lead to dizziness.
Some pregnant women experience significant pregnancy reactions, severe vomiting, and eating less during early pregnancy, resulting in low blood sugar levels and occasional dizziness. And these pregnant women may also experience palpitations, fatigue, and cold sweats, which often occur when they eat less.
Inappropriate positioning and compression of blood vessels can also cause dizziness in pregnant women, which usually occurs when lying down or in a supine position. This type of dizziness belongs to supine syndrome. Dizziness during pregnancy is quite dangerous, so it is important to respond promptly. It is also very important to supplement nutrition in a timely manner during pregnancy, pay attention to posture, and rest well.
