Hello dear,i understand your concern.In my opinion dizziness is routinely seen in early pregnancy.It might be due to low Hb or anaemia,low BP,low blood sugars.I suggest you to get Hb done to rule out anaemia.Take food in small quantities every 2 hourly like 3 meals and 2 snacks.As the fetus will be taking glucose continuosly there will be decreasing sugars leading to dizziness.Take adequate fluids upto 3 litres per day and fruit juices.After waking up sit for some time in bed before standing to avoid postural hypotension.Hope this helps.
