Avatar f tn Keep your legs moving, you're more prone to blood clots when you're pregnant. So if you're traveling by car try and stop every so often and walk around maybe at a rest stop. For nausea I don't really know, I never really got that. But babies r us sells preggo pops, there for nausea you could probably try those out. I'd ask your doctor. I'm 37 weeks I'll be traveling by car for six hrs this week and my doctor told me what to do.
Avatar f tn *traveling. That's what I did, and of our entire party of fifty, I was one of the only ones who didn't have a day sitting by the toilet. Also, I wasn't drinking, which probably helped. And drink water.

There are medications to control these symptoms such as meclizine and buclizide that can be taken before you hit the road, but you should discuss this first with your doctor. Another possibility is postural hypotension, which means that your blood pressure declines when sitting for a long time.

Avatar f tn Triggering factors that may induce your migraine attack may be contraceptive pills, stress or depression, bright lights, loud noise and traveling. Other factors could be different foods such as cheese, chocolate, alcohol and even few fruits. Few women experience headache more commonly during the time of their menstrual periods & at the time of hormonal imbalance. I would suggest careful record of events that have proceeded with the attack and avoid those factors.
Avatar f tn while traveling to work I was standing on the train and all of a sudden I felt hot and my body warming up and was sweating a little. I took off my jacket, a minute went by, I felt very dizzy as if I was going to faint. Thank god, the train approached the next stop. I walked out as fast as I could, sat on the benches. I had scarf on, so I loosened it. Luckily, I had some cookies in my purse I started munching on it. Few minutes later I felt ok. Then traveled to work.

Avatar f tn Hi there, do you feel up to going on vacation? Will you be traveling in areas where it's really hot? Sometimes heat and the stress of traveling can make your symptoms worse. If you'll be taking it easy and staying cool, not traveling too long, that might be OK. Will you schedule your appt. before you go? Will you see him when you get back, or as the end to your trip?

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.
547512 tn?1273245025 My husband and I had to cancel our plane trip from Phoenix to Portland because my doctor said that there is an ongoing study that suggests that traveling by plane can cause you to miscarry. This is due to the sudden changes in air pressure. Not to scare you, but I miscarried at 15 weeks in Sept. and I flew from Phoenix to Boston and that is when my baby died, was while I was traveling. So... it is probably a better bet to be safe rather than sorry. I wouldn't...
341190 tn?1295467125 Hi everyone, Last time i was on here was about 2 years ago, well so much has happened, firstly i was fitted with a loop recorder to try and find out what was happening when i fainted then my 17 year old daughter told me she was pregnant, shock wasent the word, i got used to the idea and was actually looking forward to it, she then found a lump in her breast when she was 8 months pregnant and had to go for a biopsy she obviously wanted mum with her so i dragged myself along, just as they were cut
Avatar n tn It scared me but as I am traveling in New Zealand I dont have a proper doctor. We went to see one 2 weeks ago for ultrasound and all was fine and everyone healthy. And two days ago, I got dizzy, didn't faint but had to go on the ground as Everything became black and my hearing went into silence and when came back all seemed brighter and hearing was almost as vibration. Very strange. Have never been fainting much or dizzy..
