Almost fainted

some days the fatigue is really bad.. I almost fainted just now... how long is this going to last?

I also have no appetite.. I could be hungry, but nothing is appetizing to me.

Re: Almost fainted

I hope you feel better !! Stay Hydrated !!

Re: Almost fainted

I had a dizzy spell in a supermarket during my first trimester becuase I had no appetite... definitely drink and eat whatever you can keep down

Re: Almost fainted

How far along are you?

I was the same way, felt hungry but nothing was appetizing. I actually would force myself to eat.
This lasted the whole first trimester. It got better for me in my second trimester, which is where I am now.

I hope you feel better, try to take it easy.

Re: Almost fainted

will staying hydrated help with the fatigue?
I have a million questions, but my first dob appt isn't till this Friday (and it's only with the Nurse, not the OB-GYN). I am very thankful I can find support here!

Re: Almost fainted

I feel this exact way right now!! I am 6w5d and I still have no appetite, I have heard it gets better.....We can hang in there together.......

Re: Almost fainted

I had fatigue pretty bad at around 7 weeks to 11 weeks but it's starting to go away.

It got to a point where I would need to pinch myself so as not to snooze at meetings....

It's now 13+ weeks and the symptoms are not entirely gone but they've definitely eased up so I'm able to function more normally.

Re: Almost fainted

I was exhausted all during the 1st trimester, I still have those days now and then. As far as the appetite I couldn't stand to eat anything either even though I was hungry. I would force myself to eat and snack in between meals. Also try to go to bed early. I found that I just ate whatever I could that didn't make me sick. The 2nd trimester has been so much better as far as energy and nausea going away, so hang in there!!!

Re: Almost fainted

We are pg the same amt of time! YEAY!

I would say to try and drink A LOT OF WATER

and if you have to, close your eyes for a few mins to rest.

Re: Almost fainted

the same thing happened to me. You have to eat, and stay hydrated! I found my blood sugar dips much more dramatic now.

Re: Almost fainted

That happened to me..

NOTHING was appetizing I used to tell my hubby that the food on my plate looked like food in a poster, its just ... there.

I would force myself to eat bread and grapes, drink a big glass of milk or drink some soup. Even then NONE of it tasted it good it was a chore to eat. But I kept saying “its for the baby” and would just force it down. If I forgot (which was EASY to do) I’d get really really dizzy.

You gotta eat.

Drinking water did help but you gotta eat. Even if its just lots of little snacks (roll, grapes, milk, etc) just eat like a fist full of solid every couple of hours.

Good luck


(PS: I had no m/s, so this was my plan but it make not work for you)
