Coming over faint

[Snowball]

Over the past 2-3 days I keep having moments where I feel like I'm going to black out. Yesterday in the kitchen my vision faded in and out and I felt all light headed like I was floating and then today again when I was out shopping. I slowed right down and even walked near the shelves incase I started to go down it was that bad. Is that normal? Does anybody know what causes it?

I got like that too, turns out im anemic. So on iron tablets now. Be sure to mention it at your next appointment

It still happens to me now, occasionally in a shop I start to feel really hot and feel like I want to pass out

id have your blood pressured checked

 

[kelly2903]

sometimes it can happen in the early weeks cause your body is producing more blood to help supply baby and your not used to that so it mite be taht your not anemic or have high blood pressure just that your body is still getting used to all the rushs of everything. hormones and so on. but your gp can check your blood pressure and let you no book and appointment to be on the safe side.

This happens to me all the time because I have low blood pressure but it's got much worse with pregnancy.

In pregnancy it's often caused by anemia like everyone else has said or because you haven't eaten in a while and your blood sugar is low. It's amazing how quickly it can drop sometimes in pregnancy.

It's scary if you're not used to it but don't worry, it's quite normal. I've mastered the art of completely blacking out but remaining standing now. How cool is that!!

Im getting a bit of this at the moment especially if I get up quickly or turn quickly.

Snowball, I am the same way. I had a DR. appointment yesterday and everything is fine with me and little one. Get it checked out anyway like the others said but I am sure you are A-O.K!
