did anyone ever faint in shower?

So far I haven't had morning sickness or nausea (yay). But yesterday afternoon I felt a little nauseous & thought it had to do with that bite of chocolate bar I had. Anyway, I got in the shower and made it through half of  "routine" then started feeling lightheaded. I started to kneel down then the next thing I know I woke up curled up in a heap with bloody water everwhere and the water was freezing. It takes 25 minutes for the ho****er to run out like that. Anyway, it turns out I cracked my nose on the shower wall and had a bad nose bleed. My husband is on a business trip for 5 days and I am scared this will happen again.
I think yesterday was the first time I called my mom crying like a liitle girl in like 15 years lol. I know I wasn't dehydrated & the shower wasn't too hot. I am def eating enough.
Oh and to top it off, I have developed "swamp mouth". I forget what the tecnical term is but it is a sour metallic taste. Colgate Total and I are becoming best buds but...yuck :)

 Well, I had this (not the actual pass out and bleed part) happen to me around the same time as you. I didn't realize that when we are pregnant our blood pressure is usually lower and we need to keep an eye on it especially after an RNY. I usually make sure I have eaten before my shower, even if it's a small glass of OJ or something with a bit of sugar in it. I don't want it to ever happen to me again, and I'm sure you either. I did fall right down, my knees totally gave out from under me and I couldn't see, water was just too hot and with the door closed it was a sauna in there. Just be safe!!

I passed out in the shower when I was pregnant with my twins. It was really scary, everything just went black and a couple second later I found myself laying in the shower. Other than a couple bruises, everything was fine.


This time I've gotten dizzy a few times but haven't passed out.

This has not happened to me, but I wanted to say how sorry I was.  What  a scary thing to happen.  Hope it was a one time occurrence. 

Sometimes I get so light headed! MOSTLY in the shower. I feel like im going to tip over.
So know when I take showers I sit down, and then I stand up very slowly..I hope this goes away soon. Its like that when I first wake up in the morning also.

I think I was a bit farther along but I was in the shower and had the door closed.  Started to get really light headed.  I was able to sit down on the side of the bathtub for a bit and them quickly finish my shower before my knees gave out just as I made it to my bed.  My whole body was shaking.  It was not fun.  I am thankful that I didn't actually pass out.  I am sorry that it happened to you.  I make sure that I have just eaten something before I take a shower and I always leave the door open to make sure it doesn't get to hot in there.  It has not happened again.

Oh and I hated the metallic taste.  Mine didn't last long but I had to brush my teeth a lot too.  It made eating hard sometimes because I could taste that and not the food.

Yep. all of the time. you might want to get a shower chair or just take baths until he gets home. With Tristan I did it only in the second half... This pregnancy has been the entire time. I got a shower chair and it makes you feel old... but it's way safer... I am only standing up long enough to wash the parts I can't wash sitting.

There's something about the water trickling down your head that makes you dizzier than normal. It could be blood pressure or blood sugar related. I have problems with both.

Be careful!

This pregnancy I have passed out/fainted more than I have in my entire lifetime. Was ruled as dehydration (despite 80oz fluid a day) so I am at 120 oz now, and still get dizzy but no more actual black outs. Good luck hon, I know its scary and NO FUN

Sorry to hear about that, not sure if you have one of those shower wands or not but I have had to now sit down and use that to shave my legs! Maybe you should just bathe or sponge it till he gets back just to be safe! Good luck!

Thanks for the advice everyone. I will start drinking some OJ first. Today's shower was fine, thank God :)
