Two weeks ago my boyfriend and I found out that we are expecting. The news was a bit shocking at first but the excitement quickly took over. The past few days I haven't been eating that much. Its because I haven't had the taste for anything (normally I have a good appetite). This morning I woke up around 7:30, used the bathroom and as I was turning to leave, completely passed out. I feel hitting my head against the all, I tried to sit myself up again only to bang my head once more. My boyfriend came running in the room and he said I was crawling on the floor trying to get a chair. My eyes were rolling in the back of my head, my face was white. I was icy cold to touch and was sweating all over. AS soon as I fell my fingers tips became numb, 30 sec. later half of my hand was numb, after about a minute my arm up to my elbow was completely numb. My fingers were moving but I could not control the movement or feel them. I did not have any abdominal pain or spotting. Family says its probably low blood pressure and being that my hormones are all out of whack. The rest of day I have been in a fog. Talking a bit slower but I comprehend what people say to me, I'm just zoning out a lot. Ive heard of pregnant women getting dizzy spells but nothing as bad as this. :confused: Some imput would greatly appreciated!

Sounds like low blood pressure or even anemia to me. Have you gone to your doctor and had bloodwork done yet? Are you on prenatal vitamins?

Could very well be low blood pressure, anemia, or even low blood sugar. You need to contact your doctor as soon as possible and report this. Many women do faint in early pregnancy, but this should be diagnosed by your doctor.

Since I just found out I haven't been able to get into my doctors office. They only have 2 midwives/nurses so they are a little backed up. Yes, I have been taking prenatal vitamins for a little over a week now. I slept great last night and I feel great today. Thanks for advice!:D

You also said that you were not eating much, this could explain passing out because your body needs the nutrients from the food so try to eat at least three meals a day. This might help to keep you from passing out again.
