I'm 13 weeks pregnant.. I've been having sharp pains in my sides and sometimes they just won't quit.. I've also been dizzy and feeling like I'm about to pass out.. what does all of this mean.. should I be worried

Its never good being pregnant and feeling dizzy like your going to faint, especially with having sharp pains as well, I would call your OB and discuss this issue and see what they have to say about it, I wouldn't just shrug it off though, nothing is too stupid to call your doctor about when it comes to you and your baby, Best wishes, I hope everything turns out fine

Like Staples120703 said, always wise to have any new concern checked by your doctor. It could be something as simply the stretching of the ligaments that support the uterus and being a bit dehydrated. Make sure you have plenty to drink throughout the day, and that you are taking in several small meals. Blood pressure also tends to drop during pregnancy and this can cause some women to feel dizzy or faint from time to time... especially when they change positions, such as lying or sitting down to standing.
