Is It Normal To Feel Lightheaded During Pregnancy?

I am almost 38 weeks pregnant and have over the past couple days had a drunk feeling off and on. Actually it started about a week ago seeing spot/dust lights in the air. To best describe, I feel spacey, light headed, almost as if I am going to pass out. I can t focus and I find that when talking its hard to pronounce and say things as I normally would. My blood pressure was normal on Monday and my labs from a week and a half ago were normal. I have other children and have never felt like this before.

Hi.

There are various fluctuations in enzymes, hormone levels and other bodily functions while you are pregnant and some things otherwise strange can occur. But with your presentation I would recommend an MRI brain and a check on your blood coagulation profile to make sure all is well.

Best wishes.
