Wood/coal burning fire

[Lozs1]

Hey, so yesterday evening I was outside a campfire for 3 hours. After 3 hours I stood up and felt nauseous and light headed and tired. I’m reading all sorts of nasty stuff online. I’m so scared I have done baby wrong. Has anyone experienced this? I’ve read it’s carbon monoxide poisoning and read it can cause fetal death

You were outside I presume? Can't get much more ventilated than outside.

Your baby will be fine.

Nausea, feeling light headed and tiredness are all pretty normal pregnancy symptoms.

im 16 weeks now and I know the symptoms I’m having aren’t related to the pregnancy side. I feel much better now but last night I was a bit zoned out and feeling ill due to the fire. I know if I went to see a midwife/doctor now it would be totally pointless as I feel better. But I’m so concerned I’ve harmed the baby with what literally could be mild carbon monoxide poisoning

It's literally impossible to get carbon monoxide poisoning outside, unless you are inhaling it from source. Your baby will be fine.

Might be heat related if you were close to the fire or too warm? I had similar symptoms when I was on holidays at 21/22 weeks - dared to try a little sunbathing and after 30 minutes I felt very strange, like you are describing. It went away / I was back to normal after a couple of hours being inside in air con & rehydrated.

@GreenFlamingo11 unfortunately it is very possible to get carbon monoxide outside

I can’t see how you could get carbon monoxide poisoning outside, it would need to be in a contained environment like tent or building. You probably just got too warm,

No.

Only if you've taken up inhaling directly from an exhaust pipe. From a camp fire? Absolutely not.
