Fainting

Hi ladies last night around 930 I was getting some chips n salsa and all the sudden everything was getting black. I couldn't see or hear anything. It was so scary. My heart was beating fast I fell down n went to the bathroom splashed water on my face n it happened again. I called my bf at work n he told me to go in the bedroom to put the ac on it worked I was ok a couple mins after sitting in the ac. but has anyone ever had this happen to them? I didn't go to the er do to not having a car. today I feel ok just tired. I got an u/s on the 28th I'm just worried since I haven't seen my baby yet so I'm alil scared that fainting may have hurt my baby. Any thoughts are appreciate thanks

Lightheadedness and fainting can be common during pregnancy. Sometimes it is due to low blood sugar, and sometimes it is caused by moving to fast or standing up too quickly. If it happens alot then you may want to go get checked.

It could be low blood pressure, make sure you let your care giver know, and if it keeps on happening I would think about going and getting checked out, bub should be ok though

I read that it could be part of pregnancy....my advice would be to just take it easy for a while and if things don't get better Exp if it happens again call your doctor.....hope everything is well with you :)

That happened to me as well today and lately.... It's really scary. I thought my hearing and vision was going away.  But both times I was outside but I felt cool so I don't know what it could be.
