During week 18, you're likely to have symptoms of dizziness due to changes to your cardiovascular system. You may feel dizzy when sitting or standing too quickly or standing for a long period of time. Although dizziness can be uncomfortable and frightening, there are ways to manage its symptoms. Drinking lot of fluids and eating right during the day and lying down on your left side can help to minimize the feeling of dizziness. Avoiding sudden head movements can also help. If your dizziness causes persistent nausea or vomiting, talk to your doctor.
