fainting during childbirth

MY GRANDMOTHER ALWAYS SAID THAT 84 YRS AGO DURING CHILDBIRTH AT HOME BY A MIDWIFE SHE SCREAMED SO MUCH SHE GOT A TRIPLE GOITER FROM SCREAMING-IS THAT POSSIBLE??

Did u try finding out the reason?? I know fainting can be caused by many things during pregnancy but some can lead to more complex situation.. U ahould consult ur doctor as it could be due to high or low blood pressure or dehydration etc...

Is there a specific arrhythmia associated with her fainting? Has she worn a holter monitor to measure her heart rate during regular activity to illustrate "triggers?" Has she had an EEG done during a tilt test to measure brain activity during a fainting spell? All of these tests help illustrate your child's specific reaction and therefore will help identify the most appropriate course of treatment for her as an individual.

I am currently 18 weeks pregnant and since i was 12 weeks I have the tendancy to faint, i feel fine one minute and then the next im on the ground,but when i snap out of it i feel realllly energetic,its kinda weird. I asked my DOC about this and she said I need to get more snacks in during the day But I eat ALOT at least every 2 hours. I've heard this is normal through many pregnancies, but has anyone else experienced this? Thanks for anyone who can help.

the first time i faint was on my first day in Gym, which the coach assured me its natural ! then after few weeks i got a feeling that i can't take my breath to the max capacity of my lungs but those symptoms went away after a couple of weeks ..

I would say childbirth classes are extremely informative and helpful when it comes to determining the procedures done at your hospitals, health, what to expect during labor, how to breathe, etc etc. I highly recommend first time moms taking childbirth classes. HOWEVER... When it came to actually putting that information to use at the hospital during labor, it was completely pointless for me and my baby. Unexpected things come up and sometimes no class can ever prepare you for it.

Is it normal for one to experience lightheadedness and fainting during menstruation? It's happened to me so many times before, typically as soon as my period/cramping starts I'll feel lightheaded, sweaty, and I'll fall to the floor and sit with my head on my knees. Occasionally this happens in the shower, or upon standing up if i wake up with my period, or even if it starts while I'm seated during a class.

My doc sed eat protein nd less Carb customer my body releases tons of insullin nd causes fainting. My friend fainted during pregnancy for being anemic nd iron deficant.

Has anyone passed out while pregnant? I had a scare the other day at work. I'm 17 weeks pregnant and it's my first pregnancy. I went to the ER and they ran a bunch of tests and made sure the babies heart beat was ok. The conclusion was that I was dehydrated. Drinking more fluids especially water is so important during pregnancy. They said it's really important to listen to your body. If you need to rest than rest. Lesson learned.

) I think I pass out mostly due to me having really low blood pressure during pregnancy.. I would talk to your doctor about it of you're worried.

Dehydration

re consenting to! Informed consent during childbirth is a joke. They make toy read and sign this paper about epidurals while you're in the middle of this intense pain... how are you supposed to know what you're signing unless you know beforehand?

I'm the same, I get terrible fainting spells during pregnancy. I know its not low blood pressure because I've had preeclamplsia through both pregnancies but interestingly my iron levels have been really low particularly this pregnancy. I had an iron infusion last week and haven't fainted since. Maybe get your iron checked?

Lightheadedness and fainting can be common during pregnancy. Sometimes it is due to low blood sugar, and sometimes it is caused by moving to fast or standing up too quickly. If it happens alot then you may want to go get checked.

My good friend who just gave birth to a healthy baby boy told me about the book Supernatural Childbirth by Jackie Mize. I bought it and was so thankful for all the comforting words and was able to read a lot of testimonies from women from TTC to giving birth, ups and downs and a lot. It talks about speaking to your body and having that authority to take over your body and turn away from fear and anxiety during pregnancy.
