Fainting As a Sign of Pregnancy? Posted: 02-06-07 22:55pm
I had an episode this past weekend where I
fainted twice. I have never fainted at
any other point in my life, nor did I have
any noticeable allergic reactions. There
were no previous or post symptoms. No
headaches, no upset stomach, no prolonged
dizziness (aside from immediately before
fainting)...As you can see I am a bit
confused, and getting frustrated searching
for answers. As I was researching online
I saw one woman's account of her fainting
spells and she later found out she was
pregnant. I have already been to the
doctors (they usggested I had a term
called syncope) and am awaiting an order
for blood work, but this little pregnancy
thought keeps beeping in the back of my
mind. Is pregnancy a possibility? Any
help or comments would be great. Thank
you.

You didn't mention if you've been having
sex (unprotected or otherwise), so .I'm
going to bypass pregnancy for now and just
address your symptoms. Fainting usually
has to do with a drop in blood pressure or
skipping meals. It could also be anemia.

You really can't go by what symptoms you
experience to determin weather you're
pregnant or not.
Some woman have some symptoms and some
woman have no signs at all.
Just like morning sickness. . . I
didn't have it threw my entire pregnancy
but some woman did.
I wouldn't base being pregnant or not on
the symptoms you believe are pregnancy
based.
Really you should take an hpt if you think
you may be pregnant and see a doctor.
Also if your scared about the fainting
episode then still see your doctor and
fill them in on what's going on.
Good luck and I hope you fel better and
get some questions answered.

Aya is right (sorry cant remember your
name at the moment, I wanna say laura but
im not sure) it could mean lots of things,
and if you didnt have sex you cant be
pregnant and if you did that information
is kinda needed to help any little way
possible over the internet....Also take a
home pregnancy test like jen said
and syncopy is just the fancy doctor word
for fainting, they mean the same thing,
its not a condition or anything, just the
word they use to sound smarter then
everyone else
