fainting?

[katiepope1993]

so today I was in the bathtub, wash my hair, and set up for a second and I started to get really light headed. after about 5 minutes it didn't go away so I went to stand up to open the bathroom door to let some fresh air in, and as soon as I stood up my vision got really blurred and I slowly fell down and I could not move. thank God for my dog licking my face to keep me conscious enough to get up. Is this normal?I am 8 weeks pregnant.

I'm anemic as well. That might be the reason. I'm taking iron supplements. Make sure you're eating enough and drinking PLENTY of water. Also make sure when you take showers or baths that the water and room doesn't get too hot.

Is the shower too hot? Is your sugar low? I think you got up too quickly same thing happened to me but I landed on my mom

I had fainting spells in the shower every time with my first two. I was anemic too. the doctor had me taking iron supplements twice a day and that stopped it.

I would call your doctor , and  make sure you are eating and drinking enough.
