Is this important? should i tell my midwife?

i have a tendency to pass out wen experiencing sharp pains, i have fainted 3 times in the past due to bad pain in my stomache, and my mum feels i should mention this to my midwife, although i think possibly the reason i faint is because i dont know whats causing the pain and its because im frightened. if in labour, i know why im experiencing it so i think i may be ok! also wen i get really hot i have trouble breathing properly, but again it has to be in a certain heat (like hair dryer blowing on your face etc) so again i dont feel its necassary to mention, do you think i should??? im 4 1/2 months pregnant x

When you are pregnant it is important to tell those medically caring for you any little detail that may affect your pregnancy or delivery. Fainting during delivery would be a HUGE deal because it creates a dangerous situation for both you and the baby.

Yes, by all mean tell your midwife this and any other little thing you can think of! It is ALWAYS better to be safe than sorry .. espceially when it comes to having a baby.

Good luck to you!

i would say to the midwife, this is a sign of low blood pressure and stress and the passing out could be dangerous for your unborn baby, the midwife then might refer u to a doctor who may be able to help with these pains, i wouldn't waste time with this one, passing out is never a good thing, and pain even though common can sometimes be more serious better to be checked out.... always better to be safe than sorry !!!
