Has this happened to anyone else?

Out of the blue you feel like you are going to faint?

It has happened 3 times now. One time I know it was because the shower was too hot (stupid me), that was weeks ago.

The last 2 times were last Thursday and just last night. I didn't get up too fast, did not have my knees locked nor was I standing for too long. No warning, just bam light headed, ringing ears, funny taste in mouth. It goes away if I sit or lie down. And I feel fine in about 10 minutes. If I try to get up before then, I am a bit shakey.

I remember this happening at the end of my pregnancy with Ellowyn, but I had PIH. And it only happened if I got too hot (like in the shower) My blood pressure has been fine so far. It was last checked on Monday.

If it happens again I will talk to my Drs office about it, unless it is real common.

I have been feeling faint for the last few weeks. At first, I thought it was form my medicine change, but now I'm beginning to wonder if it's not pregnancy related. I took my BP 2 days ago and it was 95/59. Thats' pretty low for me! I looked it up online and found that it's common for pregnant womens' BP to drop due to dilated blood vessels, esp. in 1st trimester. But I think if you're having it a lot, it's still good to tel your doctor. I have my next appt. next wed., and I plan to ask about it too. ;)

I have been so dizzy this pg too. My doctor told me she thinks I need to eat more often and drink more water. I did those two things and it did help a lot.

With my first pregnancy, I felt dizzy on two seperate occassions before I even knew I was pregnant. Once I knew I was pregnant I made sure I never went long periods of time between eating and drank tons of water. But of course mention it to your doctor.
