It's not uncommon to feel lightheaded or dizzy occasionally. When you're pregnant, your cardiovascular system undergoes dramatic changes: Your heart rate goes up, your heart pumps more blood per minute, and the amount of blood in your body expands by 40 to 45 percent. During a normal pregnancy, your blood pressure gradually decreases in the beginning, reaching its lowest point in the middle of your pregnancy. It then begins to rise, returning to its regular level by the end of pregnancy. Most of the time, your cardiovascular and nervous systems are able to adjust to all these changes, but occasionally they don't, which can leave you feeling lightheaded or a bit dizzy. If you actually faint, it could be a sign that something is wrong, and you should call your practitioner. No matter what the cause, lie down as soon as you feel lightheaded or dizzy, so you won't fall and hurt yourself if you do faint. If you're in a place where it's impossible to lie down, sit down and try to put your head between your knees. And naturally, if you're doing anything that might put you or others at risk for injury, such as driving, stop right away. Lying on your left side will maximize the blood flow to your heart

∙ 12y agoNormally a blackout in pregnancy is down to incresed hormone levels although needing food or standing for to long can also contribute. the best advice is to see a doctor and get to bottom of it as it could be more serious but unlikely

∙ 14y agoNO, it is not normal to black out. See a doctor right away. A doctor will be able to tell you if it something of concern or not.
You may have a blood sugar issue or an issue with blood pressure. Most likely it is treatable with typical medication or diet.
But get checked out right away -- it could have serious life long effects on your baby.

Are blackout and grindor brothers?
Grindor was to be Blackout, but this was not claifyed well due to the horrible script, This whole mess started when the creators behind the ROTF video game named him(blackout) Grindor for no reason. Some minor changes were made in head, chest and toes(Observe carefully) to make Blackout Grindor. Thus they both are 2 different characters and hence you can call them bros. One more character, the one who picks up Sam's parents has face similar to Blackout and Grindor
