I am 9 months out and I have recently been feeling dizzy, im not sure what is going on,
Sometimes when I stand up from sitting or laying down for a while, I will be dizzy, I dont know what is going on, I havent changed what I eat , has anyone been feeling dizzy or light headed??

I would definitely talk to your regular doc- maybe get some blood work done and have them take your blood pressure..

are you drinking enough? dehydration can lead to low blood pressure and dizziness (going from laying down to sitting up and being dizzy can be from low bp).

You  know you could be right, I only drink about 40 oz a day, not as much as I should be, but I always have drank that amount and just recently been feeling this way.
Thanks for your reply

Google 'orthostatic hypotension'.

HTH,

  If it feels good, do it!  And if it smells good, eat it!

You may have low hemoglobin. I was having problems with being light headed and my Dr. did some blood work and that is what they found. They told me to up my iron intake to 3 times a week and every day during my TOM.
It has seemed to help. That was about a 1 - 1/2 months ago and I am rarely dizzy when I get up anymore.
