I'm in my first trimester and I am having the worst nights of my life. I have difficulty sleeping and I feel dizzy during the night. Is this normal? How do I beat this?

Hi, It is normal to encounter difficulty sleeping. It could be due to anxiety or heartburn. You can try taking a relaxing warm bath before going to bed, or have a glass of milk may help. As for feeling dizzy or lightheaded, it may be because of the changing hormones which causes your blood vessels to expand and relax to help blood flow to your baby. However, it will slow down the return of blood for you, hence leading to lower blood pressure. If you are only experiencing this at night, try taking deep breathes and ensuring good circulation in the room to help relieve the lightheaded sensation. Take care!!
