Passing out - normal in very early pregnancy?

Just wondered if anyone around knew/experienced fainting in early pregnancy? Have been trying for #2 and have had 2 early miscarriages in last 3 months. Didn't feel too great - nauseous - when returned from DS1's toddler group on Wednesday and then fainted in shower yesterday morning. Nausea keeps on making appearances. Any ideas or am I just reading too much into it and probably just have a bug?

go to day unit at maternity hosp, you could have low blood pressure or be lacking in something, prob not soo serious but would get checked anyway.

Well, I had very bad morning sickness with dd1, and hardly ate anything for 3 months. As a result, when I managed to get myself out of bed, I did feel dizzy and almost fainted a couple of times, especially when out walking...

Please get checked out, nothing will make u feel better than peace of mind. I passed out during first pregnancy, turned out due to very low blood pressure and didnt help I was anemic!(not right spelling, but late - lost ability to think) Once I knew about blood pressure knew how to manage situation, got lot better!

Fonzi, I used to faint in the very early stages of pregnancy with dd, turned out I had low blood pressure - solution for me was to eat healthy little snacks every 2 hours to keep my blood sugar up then I stopped fainting until the final couple of weeks when I had to eat healthy big snacks every couple of hours. Probably best to get your blood checked out by GP.

I fainted to due to low iron, please get it checked out. I was lucky nearly smashed my head on a radiator, lucky my yoga teacher was standing behind me.
