27 wks - I fainted/fell on Fri night!

[Guest guest]

I just responded to 's email about my blood pressure being low

again...and how my Anemia is forcing me to get iron IV treatments

again. The drs/nurses at the hospital said it's also why I had an

accident Friday night.

After weeks of planning, hubby and I ventured out to a small Detroit

area venue for a concert. It was a very small show, there were only

25-50 ppl on the main floor (about 5-10 feet between everyone) it

wasn't hot or smoky...and I was just standing there. Not even

swaying my hips - nothing!

We were there roughly 10 minutes. Just when the lights went dim, I

told my hubby that I was feeling hot (completely out of the norm with

my Anemia) and went to sit down. I felt better after a couple of

minutes and was feeling okay to walk back to him, just in time for

the band to walk out onto the small stage. All the feeling (extremely

light headed, steamed and lopsided vision and EXTREME shortness of

breath) came back ten-fold in about THREE seconds. He looked down at

me to ask how I was, all I got out was " No, I think I should... " but

down I went!

I remember looking up and seeing ppl gauking, but (lol) it wasn't the

usual facial expressions for some drunken jerk falling on the floor.

I also heard several voices saying " OMG she's pregnant. " and " Is she

and the baby okay? " The group actually paused before starting the

music and my hubby and security guards got me standing and to the

bathroom...where I was met by two L & D nurses. Can you believe the

chance of having not one medical professional, but two L & D nurses

standing next to me when falling? They checked me over, got stats

and sat me down. It took nearly 30 minutes for me to catch my breath

and ability to stand without swaying. The theatre's security was

great - rushing me fresh bottled water, asking if they could get me

something to eat, etc. One young guard kept trying to offer me a

candy bar and the nurse finally said, " Dude! She's pregnant not

diabetic! "

Anyhow, we wound up leaving before seeing one stinking

song...bummer. I felt so bad as my hubby and I were so looking

forward to the show...and it was for bands that we've loved since our

college days. (I'm 34)

My OB told me to go into ER just to be sure. I have an artificial

ankle which has taught me to subconsiously fall to one side over the

years. Thankfully for this, I didn't fall onto my tummy, I fell on

my hip and leg...which is TERRIBLY bruised.

The ER monitored the baby for four hours, took blood to make sure

none of his blood mixed with the amniotic fluid and did an hour of

ultrasound. Just like my last thorough U/S at the OB's office, this

nurse asked if I knew what I was having. When I said yes...a

boy...she said A BIG BOY! He's measuring roughly 16 inches, she said

his heart is very strong and healthy...head is perfect. Then she

commented about 'catching him in a moment' because it looked like his

penis was erect. I laughed and said fearfully...'No. He always seems

to be in a moment (I've had four u/s done since knowing it's a boy)

and my hubby thinks it's great. "

Anyhow...I just wanted to share the story with others...

Had quite a scare but luckily my baby is great and wasn't effected by

the fall.

Thanks for listening!

Hi . Thank goodness your little man is alright, though talk

about a gigantic scare. What an amazing coincidence that there were

nurses by your side when you went down. & hey, I woulda grabbed a

candy bar, did the guard have a Snickers;-)?
