The pregnant woman almost fainted. What happened?

It is normal for pregnant women to feel dizzy occasionally, but if the dizziness is severe or lasts for a long time, you need to pay attention. This situation is very serious. At the same time, you must also protect your body, because sudden dizziness can cause pregnant women to fall, which can easily cause harm to the fetus and even lead to miscarriage. So what happened when the pregnant woman almost fainted?

First, why did the pregnant woman almost faint? It was an early pregnancy reaction. When we know we are pregnant, due to the formation of the embryonic villi, chorionic gonadotropin will be secreted, which will cause various uncomfortable reactions in pregnant women, such as the common nausea, vomiting, chest swelling, drowsiness, depression, etc. Some pregnant women will also experience dizziness and drowsiness. These are collectively called early pregnancy reactions. Due to individual differences, each person's symptoms vary, and the severity varies. Therefore, when you are not using contraceptives and experience discomfort such as dizziness, drowsiness, or nausea, don't think that you have a cold, you are sick, your blood pressure is high... and rush to find medicine. You should think that you may be pregnant, which is an early pregnancy reaction. You can rest in bed and go to the hospital to check whether you are pregnant in time. When pregnancy can be ruled out, you should consider other diseases.

Second, lack of oxygen. Oxygen is vital to a pregnant woman, so she is very sensitive to hypoxia. When a pregnant woman is deprived of oxygen, the fetus will suffer from intrauterine distress and even intrauterine fetal death due to lack of oxygen. During pregnancy, pregnant women's oxygen consumption increases by 10% to 20% compared to normal people, but the number of breaths does not change much, not exceeding 20 times per minute. Therefore, when a pregnant woman is in a low-oxygen environment, she will feel dizzy, short of breath, and have frequent fetal movements in the abdomen, which means that the fetus is also lacking oxygen.

Why did the pregnant woman almost faint? Hypoglycemia. The fetus develops at an astonishing rate every day in the mother's body, constantly obtaining various nutrients from the mother. If some mothers say: I won’t eat if I’m not hungry; I’m too busy at work to eat, etc., the fetus will continue to absorb nutrients regardless of whether the mother eats or not. The mother will suffer from hypoglycemia due to hunger, and will feel dizzy or even faint.
