Feeling faint a lot

at 33 weeks and having iron deficiency anemia, and fighting random dizziness and faint spells. I have been in floor several times to prevent actually passing out. Thankfully not passed out yet but it is so frustrating, doing all the dietary advice and taking iron supplements twice a day on top of the prenatal vitamins. I had this with first two as well.

    I'm 34 weeks and I'm not anemic but dehydration can cause it as well . My doctor said you can never drink enough water especially in the heat

    Drinking some gateraid daily may help you, and try drinking a lot more water in general

    Me too. And the weird thing is I do everything right (drink water, eat small meals, slept on left side, take iron supplements)and it still happens. You are not alone, im counting down weeks.

    Some days I wake up feeling faint and stay that way all day. Nothing I do helps.

    I'm glad I'm not alone. This diziness is killing me. If I could just sit and do nothing but watch TV I would be fine but with a 2 year old that's not possible. I had a sinus infection and fluid build up in both ears sp I'm hoping the dizziness becomes less but I'm starting to loss hope.

    Completely understand. I was in the hospital a month ago at 29 weeks for dehydration almost had an emergency c section because I did pass out and baby went into distress for 9 minutes. The doctor said it was a syncope episode and it's common in pregnant women but generally when they are standing up. They put me on my back and I said I couldn't breathe but all they told me was to relax even though I was calm and I ended up passing out because I cannot handle being on my back. You're not supposed to put a pregnant woman on her back anyways. That really upset me because I knew that from being a firefighter/EMT and the nurses didn't even know that.
