fainted in tescos, the humiliation!

[samwellsbutt]

i mean really, they called an ambulance and every thing. but apparently there is nothing wrong with me and baby is fine just low blood sugar need to eat more regularly now (31 wks) any body else had this?

No not done that, poor you, I hope you're ok? I would have been embarrassed too.

I faint in Tesco when i'm pregnant... 3 times now and it's always at the checkout

Not in tesco but natwest bank - was very embarrassed!

You poor thing. Hope you're feeling better and sounds like you have an excuse to snack on a nice twix grapes or something sweet and tasty more often.

I'm 34 weeks now and def get light headed if I don't eat little and often.

It happened to me at 9 weeks, I was working and accompanying a client to do some paperwork, I live in I taly and basically help expats with the red tape here.

When I came to all I wanted was to get up and finish off my job and go home, but they insisted I waited for the smbulance. Made me lie on the floor in the middle if a bysy registry office with feet up and all I could think was "thank goodness I wore trousers this morning" , while my poor client hardly understood anything as his italian was very poor...

Once in hospital I had a scan and found out I was having twins! I almost fainted again....

I often feel faint at the checkout, never anywhere else.

I thought you were gong to say you fainted a the price of the festive shop

I'd have been embarrassed to. I'm better now but I used to feel really faint check-outs too. I think it's the having to stand up without actually walking, if it then also gets too warm....

I've never fainted but have thrown up in a huge queue in the Post Office a few weeks ago! So embarrassing! Think it's because I get too hot in all these winter layers!

For the feinters at checkouts...it's often the heat that tips the balance...take your coats off when you get in the store and it should be a much more comfy experience throughout. It's why babies will often cry at checkouts too. Just too plain hot. Often stores essentially 'heat' checkouts by virtue of the fridges pumping out cool...the hot air shifts to elsewhere.
