Almost fainting

[StephW09]

I was in a store the other day walking around, felt fine nothing out of the ordinary and then i almost fainted, it literally felt like when a rollarcoaster stops, like someone shoved me. I didnt completly pass out but it was close. Was just wondering if anyone else had had any kind of expierence like this??

My experience was the same as KarenDiane. I was on the subway with my daughter and the train was packed. I was standing with her holding her and her bag and pg (yes no one had the kindness to offer a seat) After two stops, I started breaking out in cold sweat and I started seeing black spots/static current and I think it was more from feeling cramped and with barely enough room to breathe. Also it was terrible when the train got stuck before I got to my stop- due to some problems and I felt even more stifled. I had to keep breathing in and out and kept telling myself to hang on cos i had my kid with me and I didnt want to faint there and then. Thank God finally the train moved when I felt I couldnt take it anymore and I got out of the cabin in time. Phew. My one and only first "attempt" to faint and during this pregnancy.

Yes, it's happened to me a couple times but only with my current pregnancy. The first time I was standing in line at Walmart when I started seeing black spots, then all the noise around me sounded far away. I sat down on a bench and broke out in a cold sweat. After about 5 minutes I was OK. I think it was low blood sugar. I needed to eat. It happened twice more, but that was the worst.
