should I see a Dr?

Question

I'm 16 weeks today. I've been extremely lightheaded today and dizzy. Very sick at my stomach. My stomach hurts bad. I've been cramping, feels like period cramps. I ate 2 hours ago but still feel bad. I have an appointment in 2 days to see my ob. But I don't want anything to go wrong. Should I go to er and be checked or wait it out? Heartburn has started and I've been burping alot. What do y'all think?

Answer

Like the others say, these are all listed as normal symptoms for this period of pregnancy in my Mayo Clinic book. It just sounds like it’s all hitting you at once which sucks. If it doesn’t worsen and there’s no bleeding, you’re probably okay to wait for the appointment.

Answer

You’re just dehydrated

Answer

Dizziness is normal just try to drink more water and eat nutritionally dense foods. Make sure you’re taking your prenatals to keep your iron levels up.

Answer

Sounds like a normal healthy pregnancy to me. Around 16 weeks is when those dizzy spells hit, It’s like the body just knows and I’m sure the cramping is due to ligament pains. I wouldn’t run to the DOCs just yet. Bring it up at your appointment though.
