A doctor has provided 1 answer

F-t (Full time?): Well, when one faints we usually think BP in your situation. If you're on your feet and pregnant, dropping your pressure suddenly or during over a few minutes isn't as hard as you think. Have you been checked for your pressure AND heartrate in the standing positions when coming from lying? You may be dehydrated, you may have a UTI, hypoglycemic. Remember, you're frontloaded. Tthigh high ACE WRAPS?
