What Causes Lightheadedness During Pregnancy?

My daughter is 18, 12 weeks pregnant. Became light headed, to the point of almost passing out. She has the shakes and her heart was racing for a bit. I do not have a firm grasp on her heart rate at this moment. I have her laying down and drinking plenty of fluid. No bleeding. No other issues. Normal? Thanks

No, this is not normal. Your daughter needs to be evaluated. With her symptoms, it is possible that her blood sugar got too low, which can be dangerous for her and her baby. Please take her in to the emergency room as soon as possible. There are a number of other possible reasons she is experiencing those symptoms.
