Fainted 🤢 think I’m 5.4 weeks hope this is normal

Fainted in work and vomiting , feel constantly nauseous! First scan not till next sat . I went from feeling fine from the transfer to all of a sudden the last few days it’s hit me I’m really dizzy and sick! Hopefully means all is ok? Next sat 22nd can’t come quick enough ! I’d go through any sickness for my miracle baby to be viable! The fainting isn’t pleasant tho

Thanks , I’m resting as much as I can. I work 4 days a week munching on a rich tea biscuit every now and then between meals to try keep nausea at bay x yes it’ll be worth it. I’m posting my symptoms to help other people as a lot of ladies on here post the bfp then right after that it’s the first scan!! So hard to know how they were feeling inbetween? There might be other ladies out there feeling like me xx

Bless you I'm sure there are and much as it's wanted early pregnancy can be tough but usually the middle bit is much easier think the stakes are so high when the journey has been long and hard just wishing you all the best and hoping you get to enjoy this special time take care x

Thanks xx

Are you drinking enough? If you are dehydrated it can lower your blood pressure which can cause you to faint. Try to drink plenty of water, even though you probably don’t feel like it because of the nausea. Hope you start to feel better soon xx

[Hidden in reply to DisneyJL]

I’ve upped my water intake trying to sip on drinks in work xx

[Hidden in reply to DisneyJL]

Don’t think I was drinking a lot the day I fainted I was busy in work and hadn’t realised , I’m on top of it now x

[DisneyJL in reply to Hidden]

Yeah, it’s easily done - I think we’re all guilty of not drinking enough, pregnant or not. Unfortunately, there’s not much you can do about the nausea - that’s probably cause by increased HCG! 😁 Ginger is good for nausea, if you can stomach it, lol! Good luck! xx

Sorry to hear you’re feeling so bad. If it happens again or you get to the point where you can’t keep anything down then please do go see your GP. Morning sickness isn’t pleasant but normally it’s just something that we have to live with but if it’s very severe then you can get dehydrated and that isn’t good for you or baby. Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks hopefully won’t last too long x.

Sorry to hear you were ill, hopefully rest and hydration will help and your GP will be able to give you some more care advice if you still feel poorly

[Hidden in reply to LegoBatgirl]

I did go the gp they said they can offer anti sickness meds but I said no thanks x I’m upping my drinks and having smaller regular snacks x

[LegoBatgirl in reply to Hidden]

Sounds like a good plan, wishing you all the best x

[Lynn31181]

Make sure your eating and drinking enough. I was the same from about 6 weeks onwards. Apparently all good signs things are progressing well with a surge in hormones making you feel rubbish (start of morning sickness). Good luck x

[Hidden in reply to Lynn31181]

Thanks Lyn , it’s all new to me 🤞 it’s all good signs as you say lynn xx

[Lizzielizzielizzie]

Make sure you’re drinking plenty if you can. If you can’t keep fluids down then see your GP to discuss medication. Make sure you go from lying/sitting to standing very slowly and don’t bend over! It sounds like you have low blood pressure which is not unusual for some women in pregnancy.

[Hidden in reply to Lizzielizzielizzie]

Thanks Lizzie I’ve been taking things slow, it’s coming and going a bit so getting more relief x

[PIPPEON]

[Hidden in reply to PIPPEON]
