Today I literally was driving with my H to go to this neat event & I had to turn around & come back home due to I was blacking out, my ears started stopping up & I was sweating. It was very scary! And allll day now I've been tired every since. Could this be from lack of iron?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Sounds similar to what happened to me on Thursday after I got my ears pierced. It is very likely that you have low iron. Definitely go and get this checked! So glad that you didn't get hurt!
Go see the doctor and let us know! It is scary, and I'll say a prayer for you!

Thank you! My next doc appt is Tues so I'll find out then for sure because I had blood work done when I had been tested for GD. Which I never go the results and figured it was a good thing that everything was fine.
I didn't know I should call them? And no idea about my blood pressure. Hadn't had it checked since my almost appt almost a month ago & it was fine. I'm going to take my prentantal vitamin tonight & hopefully that will help. I haven't been taking any just B6, B12 & folic vitamin.

Is it hot and are you drinking enough water? They would have called if you had GD, I'd think.

yeah it's hot & humid & I've been tryign to drink lots of water. I hadn't been outside but to get in the car when it happened. At the first part of my 2nd trimester I kinda did the same thing except it wasn't this bad. And I did tell my mid-wife & she said to do what I did and drink gatorade or what not. I think then I may have been dehydrated. So today I've been on the couch alllll day & drinking gatorade, water & sprite & I have NO energy. And yeah I thought the same thing with the GD.
I read where low iron can beome prevelant in the 3rd tri-mester more than any other time.

I hope that you're feeling better! You should call just in case, poor thing.
I'm found out that I'm enemic, but haven't felt faint at all. I've just been craving crunchy foods (apparently it's a common, non-alarming form of pica). Could you be over compensating for the GD scare? Maybe you need a little sugar? Big hugs for you.

I feel that way constantly. I am anemic too. (And B12 deficient!) So yeah, I know what it feels like. Try to eat smaller meals frequently throughout the day and don't rush, get up from chairs slowly etc.
It would be a good idea to get it checked out though.

I usually don't feel fainty it just hit me like a ton of bricks that's what's weird.
ya know when I was driving, my H was bringing up labor & I told him I didn't want to talk about it at that time & I'm wondering if it was a panic attack. Hopefully they tested my iron on this last blood work with my GD. If not I'll have to go get it checked.
Is it routine to have iron levels checked with your bloodwork everytime?

I don't know if they check iron levels. Do they do CBC's (complete blood counts)? If so, your doctor might get an idea about your iron level from that.
So how have you been doing?

I'be beeen ok I just have moments or days really of being tired then I'll have loads of energy it comes & goes. Went to get the results of my GD test & she said that only one of the hours it was high so just to be careful with the sugar I eat. And I had to get a RH- shot & woooo weee you talk about some pain. 
I also measured right on target so that's good too!
Thx for asking! Hope you are doing well!
