Scary Dizzy Spells

[Saranna80]

Hi girls,
Just wanting some advice really. I've been having on/off dizzy spells for a number of weeks during this pregnancy (never experienced with my first). I've been putting them down to standing up too quickly / turning around that kind of thing. But today, I'm sat at my desk and for the last 2 hours I've been feeling REALLY dizzy. It's just happening even though I'm not moving anywhere.
Does anyone know if this is "normal"? Do you think if I called my midwife she'd think I was wasting her time?

It's perfectly normal actually. I had these. Every pregnancy is different. A lot of women experience dizziness and, like me, fainting. It disappeared beyond about 22 weeks. You will have bloods taken at 28 weeks and will have already had them within the last couple of months as well.

Midwife and GP were both unconcerned by my dizziness and fainting and I was advised to simply resume and continue taking my pregnancy multivitamin tablet, drink plenty of water, eat well, rest and exercise!
