A Bit of a Scare

So yesterday I had a little trouble. I was going about my day....doing the usual laundry and cleaning when I started feeling weird. I felt like I couldn't get a deep enough breath. It didn't feel much like asthma, but I used my inhaler just hoping that it would help. It really didn't. So, I thought maybe the baby was squishing my lungs or in a weird position cutting off some blood supply. I tried changing my position to move him. I leaned forward to make him fall forward, to get him away from all of my organs. This didn't really help either. I finally just layed down on my side and focused on taking deep breaths. After a couple minutes I started feeling sick to my stomach. I got that "I'm either gonna throw up or pass out" feeling. If you've ever passed out, you know what I mean! The nausea got strong enough that I had to get up and try to make it to the bathroom....but everything started going black....almost like a T.V. turning off. I got down to the floor on my knees....with my face on the ground and my butt in the air. I'm sure you can imagine how silly this looked....but it was the only way I could think of to get my head lower than my heart. Things went black for just a second, then I started burning up across my neck and face. I broke out into the post black out sweat...so gross! After laying on the ground for a minute or two, I climbed into bed to let it all pass. It was really scary because only my 5 year old and myself were home. I made a couple phone calls to my husband and the doctor's office (I even texted a friend to tell her I wasn't going to make it to lunch, lol) and just waited. My husband came home and the doctor's office called back and told me to go to labor and delivery to be checked out. By the time I headed to the hospital, I felt a ton better....just a little weak and shaky. Anyway, everything checked out. The baby was moving a ton! His heart rate was good and steady. My blood pressure was normal. They were a little worried about my lungs since I'd said I had a hard time breathing, but everything was clear. I was told to come back if there's another episode...but so far, I feel fine. I don't know what caused the little black out, and neither do they. The only thing I can think is that maybe I had a sudden drop in my blood pressure, or maybe I'm a little anemic. I've passed out before because of low blood pressure...but not since high school. It was a bit of a scare, but we are ok!
