I fainted in Victoria's Secret. My husband had to hold me up. If you feel like it, don't be afraid to just sit down. Who cares what people think.

I fainted at 30 weeks, i definitely wasn't dehydrated and i take extra iron which has my iron right where it needs to be. Dr said it was just a drop in BP or a positioning of the baby that caused it. Every blood test, ekg, and urine sample came out perfect. Sometimes i guess it can just happen.

I fainted when I was pregnant with my 2 daughter... I was walking around an outdoor swammeet and it was really hot (i live in las vegas) and I hadn't had anything to drink or eat... I got dizzy and I just collapsed! It was kind scary but me and the baby were ok! Moral of the story drink lots of water!!

Ya call dr but light headed is normal fainting isn't good. I get lightheaded if I sit and stand a lot. They say to lay down with feet above heart should help. But go get checked out just to be certain.

i agree with kitkat. My doc told me if i fainted to call him and get checked out just to make sure everything is ok.

Most likely it was due to low blood pressure, dehydration or low iron levels. Make sure you're drinking plenty and I would see your doctor to have your blood pressure checked and maybe a blood test for your iron levels.

That happened to me with my 3rd baby at exactly 17 Weeks when I was at work. Got an ambulance ride to the hospital where the docs said it was due to being dehydrated. Drink lots of fluid, and eat foods with water in it like fruit, salad....
Good luck
