Guest guest Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 Hey e, I have also had the same experience as you.....when I rise from sitting..... anywhere at anytime, I get lightheaded......I know that I have about it somewhere in one of my maternity books and it says that it's harmless and normal in pregnancy....but it is still bothersome, they basically recommend that you rise slowly......and it can help the lightheadedness.....so...I guess we will just have to deal with it. Does anyone have anymore " technical reasons for this condition? Nurses out there somewhere? LOL....

I just have a quick question I was hoping someone could help me with.... I have been getting really lightheaded everytime I stand up and even sometimes if I am just sitting on the couch watching tv. What causes this? Do I need to call my doctor on this? If anyone has had the same thing or can help in anyway I would really appreciate it. I don't want to actually faint one of these times and get hurt!
