What can I do? Im at work and I can't get anyone to cover for me since its night here. I feel lightheaded anytime I stand and I do mean ANYTIME... I can feel the blood drain from my face and my face gets sweaty and really cold. My body DOES NOT want to be moving or even sitting up... should I find food or something? I just ate peanut butter and jelly about 3 hours aago...

try calling you doctor's office. my dr office had a voice message or answering service stating: that they (@ least a nurse) would call back & answer your questions rather than freaking everybody out w/ going to emergency room, etc when you know your body or don't feel that it's an emergency. also, you might keep in mind that you baby is requiring lots of blood_from you. so that when you are really active, ya'll are competing & the baby wins :-)

You should really be getting to see a doctor and soon. if you called an EMS and they came to get you and take you in then there is nothing that your boss or job can do about it. If they were to fire you over something like this then that is a lawsuit. your health should come before your job. Food could help but you may also need some bed rest. If i were you i would not chance this and call 911.

Your probably anemic, most women at this point in their pregnancy are.
But I agree with the other responses, If you need to go than go! Your boss needs to get used to the fact that at any given time you could be ready to have a baby and he'll need to cover your shift! While you wait you could take a couple of prenatal vitamins or iron pills. You could also eat something high in Iron like red meat or spinach.

If you feel that ill, lock-up, and go home. If your lightheaded and dizzy, I would probably call a cab or paramedics, rather than walk or drive.
P.S. You should not eat peanut products when pregnant - your baby will be more likley to develop an allergy to them.

Are you dehydrated? It could be something like that- or it could be related to blood pressure. You really should call your Dr- maybe a nurse advisor can take you through your symptoms and offer you some suggestions. You really should call for someone else at work. You are that far along, they should not have you there by yourself anyway. Try to stay mellow- drink lots of fluid and stay inactive. If you can, lie down for a bit. Please be safe.

sounds like your blood sugar is low. Have something sweet such as orange juice or a few hard candies. If dizzyness persists seek help right away as this could be a sign of something seriously wrong.

You call your boss and tell them to get their butt in there ASAP. They NEED to cover shifts when others can't...thats why they are in charge!

You need to call your boss and tell him/her, then someone to come get you...if there isn't anyone, call an ambulance.
