Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query to hcm,
As you are pregnant by just a month, the effects of increasing hcg can be manifested as pregnancy symptoms and often accompanied by nausea, light headedness and increased sleepiness. you should be keeping yourself well hydrated as there is hemodilution occurring in your body secondary to pregnancy and your blood volume is slowly increasing which would cause an additional load on your heart muscles which is all physiological and thus there would be episodes when you may feel even palpitations, nausea, light headedness.
just lying down on bed with food end raised shall help you overcome this fogginess in 15 minutes and maintaining good hydration during this period shall prevent similar episodes in future.
Regards
