Avatar n tn So around weeks 22-28 wen Ur blood pressure is lower naturally in pregnancy I passed out in both of my pregnancies. Be careful and talk to Ur Dr about ways to avoid fainting. Its more common than not.
Avatar f tn Women have a huge amount of nightmares during pregnancy because women experience more palpitations in pregnancy.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn ) 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.

Avatar f tn To be fair, I had fainting problems in church before pregnancy, but then it happened maybe once a year and I always knew how to avoide it by being hydrated, cool, and not too hungry. It is unavoidable now.
Avatar f tn I had horrible timing with my fainting spells last pregnancy. I was always really sick with morning sickness and once I passed out while on the stairs and fell down half of them. Woke up at the bottom of the stairs so confused. It's an unfortunate thing but also a bit normal. The amount of blood in your body is increasing and that is usually what causes it. If it happens a lot you should definitely go in and get some blood work done.
10777943 tn?1412955415 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?
1923882 tn?1352250106 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
126762 tn?1325261805 Low blood pressure, low blood sugar, lack of protein, dehydration are all likely culprits. Fainting is quite common during pregnancy but is something she should mention to her doctor.
Avatar f tn Its quite common for this to happen during pregnancy. Its happened to me all 3 of mine. After you faint the first time you're bp is still low so if you stand up quickly or too fast it bottoms out again.. nothing to worry about. Next time you feel like you might faint lay down and put you're legs up or sit with you're head in between you're legs.
1221453 tn?1281092342 s happened to me a couple times but only with my current pregnancy. The first time I was standing in line at Walmart when I started seeing black spots, then all the noise around me sounded far away. I sat down on a bench and broke out in a cold sweat. After about 5 minutes I was OK. I think it was low blood sugar. I needed to eat. It happened twice more, but that was the worst.
Avatar f tn Hi, I’m 22 and I started my periods when I was 14, they were fine easy periods with no real cramps. Some when in the next year I started fainting on the first day of my period including sometimes throwing up. During the next few years it got worse, to the point I would faint then have to stay lying down for over 10 – 20 minutes at a time. During that next 10 hours I would throw up continually until I would fall asleep with exhaustion.
Avatar f tn The second time was in grade 9 , and again i fainted but in class this time and they sent me to my doctor. I had a blood test and urine test and they didn't find anything wrong with me. So now i get scared when i get my period and its super heavy the first days , then gets lighter and lasts 7 days usually. Any ideas what this is?
Avatar n tn I have copied this out for you, it happens quite frequently While there are uncommon serious causes of passing out in children, the majority of fainting episodes are brought about by reasons that are neither serious nor life-threatening. The most common reason for fainting in children is called vasovagal syncope [VAY-so-VAY-gull SEENK-oh-pee). Vasovagal syncope is an abnormal reaction of the nerves to otherwise normal circumstances. These nerves dictate the heart rate and blood pressure.
Avatar f tn I'm 6 weeks also and I am really dizzy first thing in the morning when I wake up as well as nausea. Sometimes it seems like I will just feel better if I did puke :( I have some cramps too, not bad but just like minor period cramps. I was told as long as the cramps don't stop you from doing your daily activities then it's perfectly normal!!
Avatar f tn Having arrhythmias during this type of exercise is different from having arrhythmias while jogging or running. PVCs usually stay away or at least reduce in amount during aerobic exercise. PACs and supraventricular arrhythmias are far more likely to happen both with aerobic exercise and adrenaline rush. Some skipped beats is something everyone may experience after stress/exercise/adrenaline rush, but your fainting is concerning.
623871 tn?1221745301 Hi, I am a 29 year old female who has been diagnosed as having vasovagal syncope for about 2 years now. The problem I am having is I have numerous other symptoms and no answers. On a day to day basis I am struggling with numbness in fingers and feet as well as sometimes in legs and a lot on my right side of my face. I have been to a cardiologist who implanted a loop monitor and found my heart rate goes tatrachardic numerous times throughout the day even while sleeping.
20922415 tn?1661860103 If pregnancy occurs, progesterone is produced in the placenta, and levels remain elevated throughout the pregnancy. The combination of high estrogen and progesterone levels suppresses further ovulation during pregnancy. Progesterone also encourages the growth of milk-producing glands in the breast during pregnancy. High progesterone levels are believed to be partly responsible for symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), such as breast tenderness, feeling bloated, and mood swings.
