    Thanks everyone ......

    No I didn't luckily as I was already sitting using the bath as a back support there wasn't too far to fall

    Traveller - I have been sick for 2 weeks now, started with mastitis and a temp of 39 then I had a cold sore break out up my nose and over my top lip (which I ONLY get when I am extremely run down) then I got his blasted cold that I have not been able to shake. Pregnant I WISH I don't think I am ovulating at all though I do have a bleed I think it may be a fake period (anasomething).

    Maybe I just didn't eat enough

    I always faint when I am run down, especially after a hot bath for the reasons Junglemum mentioned. It's probably just that. Try to take it easy and if you continue to feel lightheaded then a trip to the GP to check your blood pressure is ok could be worthwhile. Hope you feel better soon

    I have fainted once and that was because i hadnt eaten all day when i was 15. And i came very close to fainting many times when i was pregnant because my blood pressure would suddenly drop.

    hope you're ok. If its a regular thing speak to your GP.
