feeling faint/nausea/out of breath

[laetitia85]

how does everybody deal with feeling faint/nausea/being out of breath? I feel faint when i'm out shopping for instance, even after I've drank water or orange juice. after going up the stairs (even just a few steps) im already out of breath, it's so annoying. if i didn't sit down straigt away i'd just collapse. also on crowded buses/trains i was advised to always sit down or politely ask people for a seat, but that's not like me! and when i don't sit down i feel faint! i try to always carry a bottle of water but it doesn't always help. i'm scared that one day, i'll faint and end up on a hospital bed without my OH knowing

I'm always out of breath too, even just walking up to the school which is 5 mins away! Luckily my nausea has gone finally!!!

People should automatically let a pregnant lady sit down on a bus or train, what is wrong with people today

Don't have any real advice for you, but just had to say that I checked out your bump and "wow"

You look lovely - "blooming" in fact

Take it easy and rest when you need to. Hope you start feeling a little better soon

Funny you should mention this but I nearly fainted in the customer services queue in Primark yesterday! It was horrible. I was also out of breath when I rushed into a meeting this morning and had to speak for 10 minutes. Very embarrasing. It looked like I was having a panic attack.
It's reassuring that we are both going through similar experiences as we're so close with due dates etc.
I worry when I don't get bad stretching pain! I have it one day but not the next. Was very stressed at work today. I hope my little darlin wasn't effected by it but I've had a little sore stretch so I guess not. He/she is still there!
Take care,

Hey Letitcha,
I checked out your tummy pic. You look great. And my husband says it's a fab belly button. I think you're bigger than me but I've had problems eating.
Enjoy it girl.

lol thanks!!! you've had problems eating? i've been eating quite well, but i know what u mean, sometimes i just don't feel like eating any of the food i have at home. it's weird, with cravings, u know exactly what u want, but there are times when u have to really THINk about what to eat. I can sit there for hours and think 'mmmmh what shall i have today?' and there are things i know my stomach just won't tolerate at that particular moment. My tastes have changed, e.g. i used to love melon, now i hate it. before i could have chicken anytime, now it's a different story. i still enjoy chicken but i just can't have it all the time! certain foods that i used to love now disgust me. i don't know if im making sense. about ur experience in primark, OMG i've had it so many times. i absolutely hate not being in control of my body!!! but im still over the moon about this baby!! we should be pregnancy buddies!

I am 15 weeks and am just starting to get out of breath, at first I thought may be it was hay fever or that I was coming down with a cold or something. Looks like I will just have to take it really easy now.

Just going to have a look at you tummy picture. xxxx

Just had a look at you pics. I think that you are bigger than me. I don't want to post my pictures as my tummy looks odd. Might have to ask my midwife if it is alright nextweek.

You are glowing honey. xx

I didn't have any fainting or nausea at your stage, but was easily out of breath.
May be worth getting the GP/MW to check if your iron levels are OK, as those symptoms you've described are also signs of iron-deficiency anaemia.

i agree get mw to check you out - i felt like this from 6weeks until doc finally checked and found i had urine infection - the dizzyness/breathlessness/sickness was caused by very slight but persistant temp - found out about 13weeks and anti-biotics cleared it in 3 days wish someone had checked it sooner as i kept telling them there was something wrong/different as i had never felt this in previous 3 pregnancies

I'm certainly getting out of breath much quicker these days! I dread to think how I'll be by the time I'm REALLY pregnant!

 

[mrs_tommo22]
