It mainly happens when I'm standing like still for about 15 minutes or if I am laying down. I'm concerned bc I've been having a lot of problems but this is my first baby so I'm not sure if this is something to go to the er about or not. A lot of pain,passing out, hurts really bad to have a BM, a lot of vomiting. I had previous kidney infections and I'm not sure if this is a bad one or not

Sometimes when you move too quickly or better yet I should say get up too quickly from chair bed etc your blood pressure can drop bp is very sensitive in pregnant women so just take it easy and don't get up from anywhere or bend down fast to pick something up because that's what causes it it happened to me a lot also and I asked my ob and he said its a change in your bp that will cause you to feel dizzy or lightheaded next time it happens just lay down for a few minutes until you feel better :)

Drink more water more like 4 cups a day or more and get more iron in your system. An  iron pill or just foods with iron in it.
