I posted this morning to say I was so happy because I've stopped being sick, went to work & passed out in the toilets :-(Not exactly the way I was hoping to tell my employer Im pregmant. Im nearly 14 weeks has anyone else had fainting spells?

I fainted last Thursday night, I got really hot all of sudden and sat down on the floor and passed out. My husband though I was dying and called 911 I went to the hospital and they said everything was fine. They think it was my blood pressure

I get the dizzy spells but thankfully haven't actually fainted yet. Was told to eat regular and take my time going between positions, jumping outta bed running to the loo is something I have to watch wen im sleepy.

Thanks ladies I'm glad I'm not the only one. I think it was definitely blood sugar drop, I normally have breakfast before I leave but was running late so waited til I got to work which I think was too late.  I did jump up pretty quickly too & I felt faint you're right I should have sat down straight away. I've learnt my lesson....

Yep I fainted at work at 16 weeks. Low blood sugar was the cause. I stood up quick and didnt know my blood sugar was low. As soon as I stood up my coworker said my eyes rolled back and I went down. I knew I wad about to faint, I had stood up to get my coworker and right as I did he happened to turn around and see me go down. Luckily I work in a hospital so everyone rain to me. Thankfully I didn't hit my head or hurt the baby.
