Feeling like passing out

[*LittleMissSummer*]

While at work tonight i almost passed out, it is the second time its happened. The pain of my back/hip becomes so intense that i become very light headed, everything gets dark and i have to sit down.

But tonight i felt really giddy afterwards, couldnt stand still, i felt cold all over and just wanted to go to sleep.

I feel ok now but it had me so worried, is passing out bad for the baby? i just know that one of these days ill pass out.

I passed out a couple of times when pregnant with DS and it was because my blood sugars were too low.

Dunno about the back pain though. I'd go get checked out just in case.

What has your BP been like hun?

It may be on the lower side, perhapy lie down and elevate you legs to get the blood flowing back into your head and get your BP checked. xxoo

does the back and hip pain shoot down you leg/s at all?

[*LittleMissSummer*]

The pain shoots down my right leg but i feel some dull pains in my left sometimes too. My BP whenever i get it done seems normal always around 130/60

go to your gp. it might be sciatic nerve pain - when i get that i experience the same symptoms you described, getting hot, everything going back like you are going to pass out etc.
it happened once while iwas crossing the road and if i hadnt been in the middle part (it was very big, busy road in the city) and had a pole to hold on to I would have collapsed on the ground.

Yeah that reminded me Ray, I get sciatic pain in the beginning of my pregnancies - starts off as a pain in my butt (literally) like in the upper corner of it? And the pain extends all the way down my leg and into my foot.

If its sciatic pain - go to a physio as well, cos mine starts as sciatic pain and goes into SPD - and you don't want that if you can help it!

YES!!! that is EXACTLY what it feels like. DP looks at me like i am insane when i say my butt hurts, the pain is around there and my hip and then my lower back. Sometimes when the sharp pains happen i feel them all the way down. I almost feel myself falling over from the pain.

I will be definitely seeing about it as id hate for it to turn into something more serious.
