fainting

[mahrose]

So i was at the store today, and out of no where i started feeling nauseous and clammy. And then it was like i was in a tunnel and couldnt hear or see anything clearly. Next thing i know im on the floor looking around. So i fainted. First time in my life. Im 16 weeks. Is it normal? Has this happened to any of y'all?  And i was down for just a few seconds.

I fainted at 20wks last pregnancy and ob sent me to ER. Was low blood pressure and not drinking enough water. Baby was fine but was important to get checked as there can be reasons behind low blood pressure such as internal bleeding so worth calling your doc.

I have never fainted but since about 20 weeks on (34 weeks now) I get super fainty/lightheaded that I have to lay on my left side for awhile. I break out into a sweat and my vision/hearing starts to go. Doctors said it's pretty common and not concerned

That happend to me also i went to the doctor they sent me to L&D and the baby was fine. The midwife told me that i wasnt drinking enough water and to make sure to eat before walking or take something with me just in case i would start to feel like that again.

You need to talk to your doctor about it, and probably call the hospital to see if you need to go to the er. I was told to get medical help if I fainted.
