Passed out- AGAIN

in 3rd Trimester

I keep passing out.  Baby is fine (thank God), but somehow my blood pressure keeps dropping and there I am, lying on the floor, or in a chair, or wherever I may be.  Today it was the dentist.  Spectacular.  I guess a positive is that I saved $40 on the fluoride treatment since they couldn't do it?

I am slowly becoming my doctor's worst nightmare.  I've passed out 3 times, gotten a PUPS rash, and was recently in a minor fender-bender.  The hospital staff already knows my name.  I guess going there is better safe than sorry, right?

    Oh no!  Hopefully they can get that under control soon!  Glad to hear you and LO are OK.  Do they have any idea why this keeps happening?

    The nurse at the OB said she thinks it is a protein thing.  I have no idea what the problem is.  I've increased water, eat meat, fish, or an egg every day (sometimes more than once), and I make sure that I eat a snack or have juice around 10am.

     As long as baby is fine, I can live with it, I just don't want to hurt him!

    I would also keep some protein bars around and make sure you eat those as snacks.  I have the low blood sugar thing and it is a terrible feeling.  Your doing everything you can...but sometimes protein bars help too.  Sorry your going through all that already!  How is ur puppps rash?

    Not a pleasant experience I am sure. Glad that LO is okay, but it sure would be nice to not have to worry about it at all. Hope things get better for you!

    Have you gotten the results of your glucose test? I get very weak also and almost passed out a few times, especially if I don't eat multiple breakfasts in the morning!  I found out when the blood test came back that it was anemia - all I have to do is take an extra iron supplement and I feel better the rest of the day.

    I hope you figure it out soon! That's scary!

    I didn't get the glucose test results back yet... I get them on Monday.  Sigh.  I almost wish the dr. could tell me I'm anemic or there's something going on with my sugar so that we could fix it!

    I passed out on Tuesday! And the strange thing is that my glucose results came back fine and I didn't even show that I needed extra iron. My doctor has now sent me to a cardiologists for some more tests. I hope we can figure out why this is happening! I know that baby is fine, but I just get scared that it may happen again and I could fall and really hurt myself and/or the baby. Sad

    I hope you figure out what is wrong with you!  That is very scary!

    When I was pregnant with DD#1 I passed out a couple times; it was always because I didn't eat enough & had very low blood sugar.  Now I just keep a couple granola bars and a handful of Hershey kisses in my purse just in case I feel faint.

    GL!!
