Hi all.
Came over a bit funny on the toilet this morning - felt really breathless, then dizzy, then enxt thing I knew I fell bang on the floor and I guess must have fainted for a second or two.
Was ready for work and dropped dd and came to work as normal as had a really rugent email to send. Now just wondering if I should go and see a doctor or just go home? Still don't feel brill, but not sure if this is a normal symptom of pregnancy and whether I need some medical attention. Tell me what to do - am brainless!

How far along are you?
I suffered from dizzy spells with both of mine, have you eaten breakfast?
If you feel OK now, I wouldn't worry too much personally, but may be an idea to get checked out

Get your MW(or Dr) to check your blood pressure. I got really woozy w/dc3 in early pregnancy.
Also, as Lizzylou says: have you had breakfast?

Thanks for your quick replies. I had breakfast - mahoosive bowl of shreddies. Happened about 20 mins after that. I am just into the 18th week

May be an idea to have your blood pressure checked then, as Wisknit says, it may be very low (mine was with both DS's).
Hope you feel better today
