Do Dehydration, Dizziness And Headaches In A Pregnant Woman Require Immediate Medical Attention?

My wife is 8 weeks pregnant and was at the OB GYN earlier this morning. They ran some tests and when she got her blood drawn, due to dehydration she couldn t even finish the tests. She became extremely lightheaded, dizzy with severe headaches. It is now over 6 hours later and she is still showing the same symptoms. She is having trouble getting up and walking around and feels like she is going to faint. Is this normal? Should we go to an urgent care?

In pregnancy these things are not normal.Take her to ER,get blood profile done there and her blood pressure is stable or not that also needs to be checked.In pregnancy not able to get up and walk are definitely not healthy signs along with headache for 6 hrs is definitely suggest need to be given proper medical attention on time. for the baby's and mother's good health its better to provide her quick medical attention before things get worst.do not wait.
