Thanks for using the forum.

It was most likely due to the weight of the baby pressing on your blood vessels. Many pregnant women find that they feel faint if they lay flat on their back. Try different sleeping positions and think about using pillows to support the weight of the baby. I am glad you are going to see your doctor. Always keep your MD informed as to any concerns.

Being pregnant means your baby is weighing down on you blood vessels which causes poor speculation. The large vessel on your left side is one you have to take care not to pinch off can cause discomfort. Good luck.
