Delicate flower that I am, pregnancy tends to make me light headed. (I know, what a picture of femininity I am). Anyway, I would never faint, because that's entirely too cliche. But, I will confess that I am occasionally tempted to give into that creeping blackness of vision. The room swirls deliciously and white noise whirs in my ears, and I am lulled into the heaviness, the sinking. In truth, I'm entirely too practical to give in to it, but the longer the sensation, the less analytical I am about it. So what if I hit the wall on the way down? Or drop my glass of tea? Such trivial details. The line of conciousness blurs, and walking it becomes a fun little game I play.
Yeah, that's not weird, right?
I used to suffer from a low blood pressure, so I fainted a couple of times. Sollution: drink enough water and if you feel like people around you started to whisper and you can't even see them, lie down on the floor. Or else you might end like me - with a fair bump on your head. Or worse. Take care!

Oh, and take care of yourself. Blacking out is not a game!

Posted by: hugo at September 30, 2004 02:50 PMI fainted into the lap of a fellow commuter on the train when I was 4 mths pregnant with Miss 4. I should have been wearing a sign: Pregnant, prone to fainting.
Or I could have been assertive and asked someone to give up their seat for me when I boarded...

And I agree with Aunt Vicki and Christin, take care! My doctor told me, when I was pregnant, that pregnant women are prone to low blood sugar. That's supposedly what causes the nausea. So, maybe you should eat snacks more often?
