I passed out a little while ago

When I was around 12, I passed out a few times, and the doctor could never find anything wrong with me. I don't know if this one is related to loss of so much blood or what. The ER doc did tell me that I could get light-headed if I lost a lot.
Anyway, I went on and took my bath, since I have to go to leave for work at 3:30.

P.S. Where is my husband, you ask? He is on a trip with our church...they are visiting a large Amish community in Tennessee (no, I'm not kidding).

MyBabeMaddie replied: DANA! That's not good, have you been taking care of yourself?

Mommyof3 replied: Definitely call the Doctor...especially since you are probably driving to work and then driving back home. That could be really dangerous! I'll be thinking about you!

HuskerMom replied: I agree you should talk to you dr. Glad you're ok!

Danalana replied: UPDATE:
Still alive.

HuskerMom replied: Good!!!!

Danalana replied: thanks.
If I had been feeling witty, I could have titled this thread "One, Two, Three, FLOOR"

Danalana replied: I don't technically have a doctor, since I never GO to the doctor.
I don't even really have an OB anymore, since I'm switching. Or was switching, until it turned out that I wouldn't need to go.
SO anyway, I have remained conscious since that one incident...

punkeemunkee'smom replied: You really should call the doctor or if you don't have one go to the ER. You shouldn't be losing enough blood to make you pass out. Actually you shouldn't be losing your blood at all but rather what was being stored for the baby, so if you are still bleeding (especially heavily enough to pass out) you should really go in and make sure everything is closing the way it should be....I know you feel now that you don't want to try again but you still have to take care of yourself and your ability to get pregnant because you will want to.....eventually

MyBabeMaddie replied:
Dana, I thought you were going to keep your appointment with an OB

Danalana replied: Yes....yes, I was. But what I didn't realize is that the appointment i had was just routine stuff...I wouldn't even be seeing him. So they were going to work me in, and they never called me back.

Nina J replied: My mother would say you probably stood up to quickly You should probably see a doctor though.

lovemykiddies replied: Hey Dana--have you done the orthostatic blood pressure test? Can't remember the exact name of it, but it's where they measure your blood pressure laying down, sitting, and standing?

I agree with the others--see your doctor just to make sure everything is okay.
