I am almost 35 weeks pregnant. I have been passing out unexpectedly. In the last week it's occurred over 5 times, which is extremely dangerous because I don't want baby to get hurt. Before all this occurred I was due for induction at 39 weeks just because baby is growing well and developing fast, is that the earliest I can be induced? I don't want to have another dangerous fall and cause extreme harm to my baby, my doctors have ran multiple tests and can't find the problem.

Is it possible to get a friend, relative, or hire a professional to be with you constantly until the child is induced or the doctors find and resolve this issue of passing out?

Very surprised you are not confined to a bed for the duration.

Is this happening out of the blue, such as walking through a store or more predictable times, such as right after you stand up or change position?

Are you eating and drinking regularly throughout the day?

On any medication?

Have they mentioned possibility of a holter monitor to check your heart activity?

39 weeks is generally the earliest unless a medical reason suggests earlier would be beneficial. You can always discuss your concerns again with your doctor.

As talaniman suggested, you may feel more comfortable putting yourself on a bit of partial bedrest and have people take turns helping you out at home for the next few weeks.
