Hi,
Thanks for the query.
During pregnancy the blood volume, heart beat etc will increase.
Due to dilatation of blood vessels, blood pressure can decrease.

And this can lead to giddiness, blackouts sometimes.
Hypoglycemia can also contribute to this.
If you are getting these symptoms repeatedly, once consult gynecologist and get evaluated.
Check hemoglobin, blood sugar levels and blood pressure.
If everything is normal, no need to worry.
Increasing food intake, decreasing gap between meals can help sometimes.
Take care.
