Im pregnant and every couple of months out of no where I will be standing doing dishes, cleaning etc. all of a sudden I feel wicked light-headed as if Im drunk (which I know Im not)---and pass out. When I fall to the ground I dont realize it til I 'come to' and get off the ground. LIke I said it happens every couple of months. Doctors dont know whats causing it.

1) You should not stand for long time during pregnancy.

2) Take rest in between.

3) Make sure you dont have anemia. Get blood test done.
