fainting!

[Baby_boy77]

I have been getting extreme bouts of dizziness and faintness, I have gotten a decent amount of sleep, and eat and had and nd cup of milk about an hour ago... I am 34 weeks...ftm.

Tonight I was walking on the treadmill for a short time... and then my vision turned black and I got off and put my head between my legs.

What's happening to me?!?!

I think so because while they gave me the infusion they also gave me a drink to help with my bowels, I think it was called something like marvacol (not sure or spelling sorry) but didn't have any problems afterwards.

Thank you! Yes I will definitely have to tell my doctor. I luckily have an appointment tomorrow... If you get your iron infused. . Does that cause any side effects with constipation??

I'm the same, I get terrible fainting spells during pregnancy. I know its not low blood pressure because I've had preeclamplsia through both pregnancies but interestingly my iron levels have been really low particularly this pregnancy. I had an iron infusion last week and haven't fainted since. Maybe get your iron checked?
