Scarlett Ohara: Rhett, don't! I shall faint!
Rhett Butler: I want you to faint. This is what you were meant for. None of the fools you've ever know have kissed you like this, have they? Your Charles, or your Frank, or your stupid Ashley!
Oh man, I love Gone With the Wind. How romantic does fainting sound in the above?!
Basically feeling dizzy and lightheaded is the name of the game lately, without the romantic overtones. I actually did pass out while on vacation the week before last and was told that the chances of passing out during pregnancy are higher than non-pregnant, particularly if you have low blood pressure (check!) and are a "fainter" (again, check!). So I sort of walk around in this haze day after day. Eating frequently and drinking a lot of water are suppossed to help, but I can't say that they do. Luckily I have an office with a door so i can put my down jacket down and lie down frequently throughout the day.
Do you know why pregnant women have dizzy/lightheadedness spells? Apparently because your body isn't quite producing enough blood for your expanding circulatory system. CRAZY. I'm ready to inject a few pints in just to make this feeling go away.
I think I'll go lie down now.
