Hi. Ok, I think I had a hot flash... never experienced that before... So, for the last couple hours, I've been freezing! Wrapped up in a blanket. LOL. Got up to start the laundry, grabbed some food out of the oven, sat down again, and got really dizzy! Felt like I was on fire! I opened up the window (it's like 15 degrees outside), and just sat in front of it for about 30 seconds. And now... I seem fine. But I really panicked for a moment, thought something was wrong.

Is this common? I'm 13 weeks tomorrow. I mean, I've looked it up, and it seems common, but is light headedness usually a factor? Thanks so much!
 
Oh yes. don't even worry about it. I had so many hot flashes during early pregnancy. I always felt like I was burning up. and I would feel very faint, and light headed, where I would have to sit down, cuz I really thought I was gonna fall over sometimes. My doctor told me it was nothing to really worry about. Its very normal during pregnancy to experience this. not quite sure why is happens. something to do with the increased blood volume during pregnancy. discuss it with your doctor if your concerned, but Im sure its fine. good luck.
