Numb?

Lately.. Like especially in school, my
arm or legs will get all numb for a few
mintues, and sometimes i'll get really
dizzy and like have that little "seeing
stars" moment....Then after a few it'll go
away.
I had gym last period today, and I was
running.. And it wasnt even that much,
but I got the numb sensation and dizziness
and had to stop.. I've never had this
happen before..Like not been outta
shape.
Haha sorry, so anyways.. My question is,
do u guys think that this has anything to
do with being pregnant, or is it somethin
else?

Its probably just because of the hormone
changes. How far along are you?

There are times when I get up from laying
down or sitting down, where everything
will fade out a little and almost go black
but then after a few seconds, it's normal
again.. Is that what you're talking
about?

Ok I looked it up for you! This may be a
little confusing but i'll do my best to
explain it. This numbness and
lightheadedness is most likely happening
because of a few things. First off, when
your pregnant your blood volume increases
anywhere from 30-50% to provide for
adequate exchange of blood and nutrients
to the placenta. Because of all that
extra fluid and blood in your body that
makes your heart have to work harder to
circulate the blood. (it increases
cardiac output.) this increase may also
cause your blood pressure to drop some and
that would be the reason you are getting
lightheaded or "seeing stars". To try and
prevent that from happening there are a
few things you can do...Try not to do
"quick movements" because that increases
your heart rate, and also when you start
to get up from laying down or stand up
from sitting then go slow! Allow your
body time to circulate your
blood...Basically dont just jump up from
laying down! This is what brandy (bd) was
talking about....Normally its called
orthostatic hypotension (low blood
pressure when you change positions). In
pregnancy it can be called supine
hypotension because when you lay flat on
your back the baby presses on your main
artery (the vena cava). And that prevents
blood from flowing well! Ok so about the
numbness....I found that sometimes later
in pregnancy blood flow can be "impaired"
to the extremities and that may cause some
numbness. But I think its a little early
for that!
Ok...I'm sorry that was so long! I hope I
didnt confuse you! Maybe that helped a
little! But like always...If you are
concerned then talk to your doctor! Let
me know if I can help you out anymore!

I read that its pretty common to feel
dizzy and light headed during pregnancy
due to hormone changes. As far as going
numb it may have something to do with
circulation of the blood and the change in
blood volumn. You may want to ask your
doc. About it anyways just to make sure
its nothing serious.

Definitely in the blood volume because
this happened to me between 10-15 weeks,
its just from being pregnant. When I
would wake up in the morning my blood
pressure would be lower than normal and I
would start to see stars and get really
dizzy and I would have to sit down. I
would advise your gym teacher that you are
pregnant if you havent already because you
wont be able to participate in some of the
activities.
