I'm 30 weeks, lately i've been feeling like i'm going to pass out when standing. what's that about?
i have had quite a few episodes where i feel like passing out. usually when in stores. The scariest one was in the shower. Just curious to know what may be causing this and what i could do to prevent it.

Scary! One things that happens in a steamy shower is your vessels dialate. This causes a decrease in blood flow to the brain. Keep the water on the cooler side. You really should make a trip to the ER so they can take your blood pressure. You also have a higher risk of blood clots during pregnancy which can cause various symptoms. Dont play around with this go get checked out so you can rest peacefully. You don't want to fall and hit your head or have something wrong that could have been prevented.posted 04/23/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
