I'm 33 weeks pregnant and experiencing lightheadedness, almost like losing consciousness. What could be causing this? Is it normal?
Artificial Intelligence Health Assistant's Answer

Feeling dizzy during pregnancy is relatively common and can have various causes. It is often due to hormonal changes, increased blood volume, low blood sugar, or low blood pressure. Other factors such as dehydration, standing up too quickly, or lack of sleep can also contribute to dizziness. While occasional dizziness is usually normal, if you experience frequent or severe episodes, it's important to consult your healthcare provider to rule out any underlying conditions. To help prevent dizziness, make sure to stay hydrated, eat regular meals with balanced nutrition, avoid sudden movements or prolonged standing, and get enough rest. If you feel lightheaded, sit down and put your head between your knees until the feeling passes.

Dizziness is third trimester is not right, I suspect you are not taking right positioning. Your baby is big now and with wrong position, he/ she presses on your inferior vena cava ( vein). Please get advise from your Dr on the best positions to attain.
