I passed out at work yesterday :(
Hi mums and bumps
I dont know whats wrong with me at the moment. I'm just so fed up of worrying about the baby all the time, I have an anterior placenta so I know its normal for me to not feel alot of movement but I'm constantly prodding my bump so the baby will have a wriggle so I know its ok. I've got too heartbeat monitors but I cant find the heartbeat on either of them. I keep having horrible dreams that something goes wrong with the baby. I'm 22+3 now and I just want to relax and enjoy the pregnancy but I cant, I'm so paranoid about something being wrong.
Yesterday it was pretty warm and I was at work, stood behind the till serving a customer and the sun was beating down on the back of my head and all of a sudden I felt like my head had been pushed underwater! My face went all cold and my eyesight went all funny and I couldnt hear properly and the next thing I knew I was on the floor! My manager said I was only out for a couple of minutes but it really freaked me out. what happened? I was sent home to rest and spent the rest of the afternoon lying on the sofa poking my poor bump! Why am I such a worrier? Whats wrong with me?

And while it can't have been much fun fainting at work in front of customers and so on, try to take it as a sign that your body is very definitely flooded with hormones and having to cope with the demands of a normal pregnancy!
I'm 32 weeks now and starting to relax because my baby is a hyperactive little thing and constantly on the go so I know she's ok.
As for you fainting, have you had your iron levels checked yet? If you're ok, I suggest lots of cool fresh air and water next time you feel queezy. You are gona be fine hun, stop worrying and think of the miracle inside you!
Take care now, Karys xxx
You know me I'm a gold medal worrier. Infact I think I'm in training for the olympics. It's completely natural to worry. Just try not to worry yourself sick.
As someone else suggested might be worth getting your blood checked just in case. Suz x
I am 33 weeks and still cant find the heartbeat with my listening thingy! all i hear is my own guts swishing, so dont worry about that.
I would go get your BP checked, fainting is normal and nothing to be concerned about but you may have low BP or anemia which they can help you with. I been docs today as im feeling dizzy and hot and she said i have low BP, theres nothing to do but rest but its nice to know why you feel how you feel!
