15 weeks 5 days almost fainting?

[Nennie21]

Iv been at work this morning and i had a funny turn. I was standing up in a meeting and my eyes started to blur almost like pixels and i found it hard to breath i then started to lose my hearing and got really dizzy everythig seem to get miles away in just a few seconds. I got really hot and shaky aswell and was nearly sick on the floor and lost my ballance. Anyone have any ideas what it could be and if its worth ringing my midwife? I felt much better after id sat down had some water and something sugary to eat x

It might also be low blood pressure and dehydration

Dizziness is a common symptom early in the second trimester.  You're body is creating and pumping more blood, about half as much more, to support your pregnancy. Much of that blood is being circulated to your lower abdomen and away from your head. I've felt dizzy during wks 12-14, mainly after standing for a few hours at a time, it's best to sit down, drink water or juice, eat a snack and rest for about 10 minutes before resuming. If the severe dizziness continues for several weeks more, it's best to contact your doctor. (Tests for gestational diabetes doesn't occur until after 20 wks when it's more prevalent.) congrats on your pregnancy!

I was the exact same way when I was pregnant with my first child and it turned out that I had gestational diabetes.  I would call your midwife and see if she can do a urine test, blood work and a sugar test.  

Good luck to you!

I had eaten breckfast about half hour before abd had a drink. I did wonder about blood presure. I saw my midwife the other day and had my iron results back from my 12.4 weeks scan and they were at 15 extreamly hight according to midwife. But i will give them a call as soon as i get home just to double check all is well. Thank you for your help x

Have you eaten enough today? Drank enough water? Sometimes if you've not had enough food or drink your blood sugar levels can drop way down and cause you to feel faint. Another cause - especially in pregnancy can low iron levels making you slightly anaemic. Maybe an idea to call you doctor and have them check your blood and see if that's the case, it's simply fixed by putting you on iron supplements.
