The 19 Week Post Pass Out Bump

Last Friday was a CRAZY day! To make a long story short, I fainted. I was in a new environment, trying to be professional, hadn't gotten nearly enough sleep the night before (or the entire week before), was wearing too tight of clothing, am low on iron... and I passed out. It was a very strange feeling that I will try my best to never let happen again.

We went to the ER and everything looks good. My blood is good, heart is good, and baby's heart rate is beating like it should be. Now so many people are telling me that they passed out once or twice when they were pregnant and that there were many times when they nearly passed out. Apparently this is more common that I thought!

So now I have learned... if my world starts to feel strange and everything turns white, I need to sit down. Or better yet, I'll lie down! No more bumping my head on filing cabinets for me!
