Dizziness during 3 months of pregnancy

During pregnancy, pregnant women often experience various pregnancy reactions due to changes in hormones in the body. Dizziness is a common reaction to early pregnancy. Of course, in addition to early pregnancy reactions, anemia, hypoglycemia, hypoxia, cervical spondylosis and other problems can also cause dizziness in pregnant women to a certain extent. Therefore, if you experience dizziness in the early stages of pregnancy, you must go to the hospital to find out the cause and then receive appropriate treatment.

1. Early pregnancy reaction

When we know we are pregnant, the formation of the embryonic villi will secrete chorionic gonadotropin, which will cause various uncomfortable reactions in pregnant women. Dizziness is one of the common symptoms.

2. Anemia

When we become pregnant, the blood volume of the circulatory system begins to increase at 6 to 8 weeks of pregnancy, reaches its peak at 32 to 40 weeks of pregnancy, and continues until delivery. If you do not pay attention to iron intake and supplement protein, folic acid and other vitamins, anemia is likely to occur. When anemia occurs, pregnant women often feel dizzy or feel lightheaded when squatting or standing up.

3. Hypoglycemia

The fetus develops at an astonishing rate every day in the mother's body, constantly obtaining various nutrients from the mother. If some mothers say: I won’t eat if I’m not hungry; I’m too busy at work to eat, etc., the fetus will continue to absorb nutrients regardless of whether the mother eats or not. The mother will suffer from hypoglycemia due to hunger, and will feel dizzy or even faint.

4. Hypoxia

Oxygen is vital to a pregnant woman, so she is very sensitive to hypoxia. When a pregnant woman is deprived of oxygen, the fetus will suffer from intrauterine distress and even intrauterine fetal death due to lack of oxygen.

5. Cervical spondylosis

Cervical spondylosis is a general term for cervical osteoarthritis, hypertrophic cervical spondylosis, cervical radiculopathy, and cervical disc herniation. It is mainly due to long-term strain of the cervical spine and bone hyperplasia, which causes compression of the cervical spinal cord, nerve roots or vertebral arteries. Its main symptoms are soreness in the head, neck, shoulders, back, arms, stiff neck and limited movement. Some are accompanied by dizziness, room spinning and other problems.

6. What to do if you feel dizzy during the third month of pregnancy

Dizziness may be caused by colds, cervical spondylosis, anemia, Meniere's syndrome, poor rest time and quality, etc. Go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination to find out the cause and treat it symptomatically. In fact, women must check their bodies during pregnancy preparation. It is best to get pregnant when they are in good health. Otherwise, if problems are found after pregnancy, it will be more troublesome to treat and may also affect the development of the fetus.
