2nd Trimester

Fainted today...

And I still can't believe it happened. I mean this is my 2nd pregnancy and I'm totally in tune with my body (major control freak!) And I NEVER faint.

I was at DS's swimming lesson and the air in the pool area was really warm and humid. I was sitting in a chair (in fact, I was texting DH) and suddenly I started to get really hot and started to see spots. My first [incorrect] thought was "I need to get out of here," so I stood up [mistake] and walked toward the outer hallway where it was cooler. My intent was to go stand outside, b/c it's cold today (in the 40s.) Well, I never made it to the outside intitially, I had to lean up next to metal door, and the next thing I knew, my knees buckled and I hit the back of my head on the door as I fell. I rose up and then did the same thing again.

The 2nd time kind of woke me up, "hey, I almost completely passed out!" So I staggered outside and called DH and texted him to come meet us at the pool.  Once he got there, he was able to take care of DS and I called the doctor. 

Turns out it was just a classic fainting spell which was probably a combo of the heat and being dehydrated. I have a nice bump on my head as a result. : S

So, drink your water, ladies! Even us "second-timers" have new experiences to learn from.
