Passing out while pregnant?

Question

Today I had my nephews prek graduation. In the middle of it I got very very hot, my vision got blurry and I felt like I was going to pass out.. my fiance said I was nodding off at one point.. so he help me out to go outside and get some air. After I few minutes I felt a little better.. this has happened to me 3 times in the past 2 and a half weeks.. I ate before we left the house and was drinking water all morning thrill we left. The other 2 times It happened was in the shower when I fist woke up. And then in the car when we were on our way home from yard sales. Each times iv ate and had been drinking. After these spells happen I feel off the whole rest of the day. I feel exhausted and just feel light headed the rest of the day.. what could it be? Is this normal? Should I call the OB? I'll be 30 weeks tomorrow

Answer

Generally caused by blood pressure dips. I did it in the car the other day. Oddly, I also start just saying weird shit to try to act normal and like I’m not losing consciousness. 😂

Answer

Happened to be with both pregnancies could be a dip in blood pressure or blood sugar. Keep snacks handy

Answer

I passed out twice now and I’m fine, it’s not uncommon but you could call and Ask

Answer

Normal, it’s because your body’s working twice as hard when you get too hot or dehydrated you get hot flushes and that causes your blood pressure to drop and you faint, I haven’t had it happen since but it your still worried see your midwife

Answer

Have you had your iron checked? That happened to my coworker.

Answer

Sounds like you need to be drinking a lot more water

Answer

Standing for more than 45 minutes or so makes me faint every time. Passed out the first time it happened haha, but have been able to catch myself each time since. My doctor said that as long as it isn't increasing in frequency or anything that it's perfectly normal for pregnant women to pass out haha
