1st Trimester

what just happened?!?!

I was out shopping for appliances with my DH and I suddenly felt extremely hot, got dizzy and felt like I was going to faint.  I sat down outside, cooled off and felt better.  Whats the deal? I've never had anything like this happen before.

Re: what just happened?!?!

  • The deal is you're pregnant. It happens.

    Be sure you are drinking plenty of fluids, and take it easy for the rest of the day.

  • Yup - like the pp's suggested.  Drink lots of water and make sure to eat!
  • I get that way if I go more than a few hours without eating.  Pack snacks and drinks.

    This exactly for me.

  • I posted about this exact same thing yesterday, because it happened to me while I was at work. I was standing in front of my students (high school seniors) and all of a sudden I started feeling faint, dizzy, sweaty, and was seeing spots. I had to sit down and put my head down to avoid passing out. Once I ate half a granola bar and drank some water, I was fine.

    I think it's a normal pregnancy thing. Like others have said, make sure you stay hydrated and keep food in your stomach at all times. Don't get too hot and don't overdo it.
