I fainted :(

Yup I had it several times during each pregnancy, just had the shower too hot.

Also had a couple of fainting spells during my first pregnancy due to low blood sugar.

Thank you so much guys I got so emotional thinking I might have done something wrong - will just have to turn down the shower and not take so long!

It's good to know it's happened to others with beautiful children at the end of it, thanks

Yep! I've done it too...shower too hot during pregnancy = I hit the deck! It's not uncommon.

:hugL hun, scary isn't it.
When i was PG with DD1 i blacked out at the check-out in k-mart, the poor guy behind me had to catch me (and i'm by no means a small woman), his wife had seen me walking around and knew i was PG so they took me out the front, gave me water and looked after me.

Thanks Ang and ZF. I'm getting so relieved reading these replies, and have passed them on to DH. He's feeling a bit calmer about it now and has taken to calling me Drop Bear lol.

ZF I'm not exactly small either, and I'm still amazed he managed to get me out shower and around the corner onto the floor! That's seriously the first thing I thought as I started coming back!

Makes you wonder doesn't it, i'm nearly 6ft and a big build and this guy was prob just shorter than me.. quick thinking.
Your DH sounds like he did a great job for him.

You definately aren't alone. I managed to faint in Big W at 24 weeks. I then threw up in a waste bin. I was so, so embarrassed but the ladies in the photo lab were lovely and helped me til I felt better. I hope you make it through the rest of your pregnancy with no more fainting!

Yep, I've been fainty faint faint all the way through, but especially in the first tri. It's your body's need for blood rapidly increasing and your blood pressure drops as a result. I found that drinking Powerade really helps, and, yeah, lay off the hot showers a bit! Will be easier as summer comes up
