Brandi J. - 80 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) I too get dizzy in pregnancy, mine is due to my blood pressure dropping. You should really get your blood pressure checked and make sure everything is ok there. Blood pressure problems are dangerous for you and your baby. Also, w/ your family's medical history, it would be very wise for you to visit your doctor often especcially w/ the symptoms that your are having. I hope you feel better soon! :o)

JennSever - 80 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) i am with the other posters - seeing stars (though beautiful) are a not so good sign. sounds like a blood pressure prob..contact your pcp..hope you are ok

niki - 80 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Difficultly breathing could be due to the baby getting bigger - i found that in the 3rd trimester - feeling faint and dizzy are two symptoms in pregnancy - just to be on the safe side i would mention to the midwife if nothing else she should reassure you. take care x

katznkt - 80 days ago Rating: 2 (1 votes) Depends on alot of factors, like how far along you are. I am just about 37 weeks and feel super short of breath, and feel dizzy all the time, and have seen stars a couple of times and had to just sit down and rest. That being said, you should ABSOLUTELY mention it to your doctor, especially because of your family history, but also because it could mean you have low blood pressure, are anemic, or any number of other things. Call your doctor and see what he says!!

wildberry - 80 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) it wont hurt to have it checked i have a hart murmur and when i was pregnant it felt allot like what you are describing

agonzales - 80 days ago Rating: 4 (1 votes) Maybe you should get it checked out since there is history with the pregnancies. It could be anxiety attacks like everyone else said or something to do with your blood pressure. Drink lots of water and rest. Take care

paul02keisha05 - 80 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) this could be a number of issues depending on your body and family history i have those same symptoms but mine is due to anemia so just check with your doctor to make sure you and your baby is not a risk for anything

christina1984 - 80 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) they say that can be gestational diabeties. i have been having a hard time breathing. i think maybe it is the uterus pushing up on everything. i suppose that could make u dizzy as well

monica9 - 81 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) I would go to the doctor just to be safe. Could be preeclampsia, anxiety attack, or something more serious so go!!

apilalas - 81 days ago Rating: 3 (1 votes) that happens to me too but i have a cardiologist...for the reason i have heart disease and thats why that happens to me so you might want to see a dr about that

apilalas - 81 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) that happens to me too but i have a cardiologist...for the reason i have heart disease and thats why that happens to me so you might want to see a dr about that. and your body does have more blood during pregnancy so that can be the cause of the racing of the heart.

karenc - 81 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) definitely talk to your doctor right away. seeing stars when pregnant can be a sign of blood pressure being too high (as can te other symptoms you mention), so best to rule that out. stay hydrated and sit and rest when you feel dizzy. good luck!

sarahann - 81 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) You could just be having an anxiety attack, or it could just be the usual pregnancy symptoms, but you should definitely go to the doctor. In the least, you should have your blood pressure checked and possibly a blood test as well. If your mum had cardiac problems, they may also monitor you. Your health and that of your baby is most important, don't just put it down to anxiety or pregnancy. You don't want to risk a stroke, cardiac problems, pre eclampsia or risk your baby's health either. Good luck!

lizzie287 - 81 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) With that history I would totally go to the doctor AT LEAST to get it checked out. In the meantime keep yourself hydrated and try to relax when you start getting dizzy. Make sure you're eating enough as well.

slg3233 - 81 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) It could be your weight like baby3onway said. I get that too and I am 34 weeks. It scares me though when I get the heart beats like that.

Baby3OnWay - 81 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I think maybe the weight is getting to you, could also be dehydration.. little bit of both but if theres a history I would go and get things checked out for sure to make sure things are ok. best Wishes

Mommyof2boys - 81 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Sounds like you could be having some anxiety attacks, the symptoms can include: Rapid heart beat, pounding heart or palpitations Sweating Shaking visibly or inside Choking sensations or lump in throat Smothering or shortness of breath sensations Chest pain or discomfort Nausea, bloating, indigestion or abdominal discomfort Dizziness or unsteadiness Feeling light-headed Derealisation (feeling unreal or dreamy) Depersonalisation (feeling outside yourself or like you don't exist) Fear of losing control or going crazy Paresthesias (numbness or tingling sensations) in face, extremities or body Chills or hot flushes Skin losing colour Blushing or skin blotches Urgently needing to urinate or defecate Try to take deep breaths and tell your self its okay that it will soon pass. The anxiety/panic attack can last anywhere from 10mins to a few days with some of the symptoms subsiding. Anxiety/panic attacks can run in the family but also being pregnant causes them as well as a chemical imbalance which can be fixed with natural healing or meds your doc can put you on. Try some yoga and Good luck!

MelissaJoanne - 81 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) It sounds very normal to me, for pregnancy. Shortness of breath, dizziness or fainting, feeling like your heart is racing - all common pregnancy symptoms, especially now that you're at 31 weeks. Don't let your relatives scare you! You have enough going on without the extra worry. If you truly can't get a breath, that would be something to consult a doctor about. What you've described above seems like what many pregnant women feel. I know I've had all of your symptoms, and I'm not nearly as far along!

ashleyandcaleb - 81 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) This is always happening to me,especially in the beginning of my pregnancy,the doctors did a ekg,but found nothing.turns out its most likely pannic attacks..stressing about anything?
