Fainting Spells

Ok ladies here's the deal, I just turned 14 weeks today and lately I been having fainting spells, It started last week and I spoke to my dr about it and she said that it was normal in pregnancy but I'm really worried and scared now, Today I went to audition for americas got talent and we had to stand in the line and it was really long and nobody came to get me since I was pregnant and I fainted twice on the concrete, The first time my husband caught me and the second time I collapsed and didnt even know it, I'm scared now because I dont know when its gonna happen again and I dont wanna drive and put myself or anybody else into any danger, what should I do????

It could be anything but it's probably dehydration. That happens to me in the mornings when I shower and it's worse because I have an arrhythmia. Try drinking more water or Gatorade. Even if you think you drink a lot it may not be enough for the baby.

I've got the same problem but the doctors all said it was normal. Pissed me off. There isn't any way that falling all the time could be good for baby but most won't do anything about it except tell you to drink more water.
