I passed out twice in grocery store

Yesterday I was recovering from the flu but needed to go to the store (and I'm 10 1/2 weeks pregnant). As I was leaving I started feeling light headed and passed out in the entry way. A man helped me up and I got a little ways into the parking lot and fainted again, taking the cart down with me and spilling my groceries everywhere. So embarrassing. Someone helped me to my car and another person called an ambulance. Rode in the ambulance to hospital because my boyfriend had just left for a business trip and my parents were 45 minutes away. They gave me a liter of fluids and sent me home. So embarrassing and scary, and it sucked that it happened my boyfriend had left just a few hours ago! So moral of the story, stay hydrated!

That's the worst! Don't worry about being embarrassed, your health is most important. Hope you are feeling better now!

I had this happen several times when I worked in a photo lab. I know how you feel on the embarrassment, customers found me each time because most times I worked alone. Glad you are okay. My nurse recommended I not go shopping or out alone since it happened so often in my last pregnancy.
