About to faint!

Hi mummies, I’m 16 weeks 5 days long today and for the first time, when i took the bus to work just now, while standing, I felt dizzy at first and slowly, my vision started to reduced and soon i was about to faint. I quickly squat down and started coughing. Has anyone experienced these fainting spells before and how to prevent it from happening again?:(

I did. I was also sweating like hell then. My gynae said it is due to low sugar level and the blood flowing to womb. He asked me to lower down my head to below heart level to let blood flows to the head. If possible, sit down and rest. Take care!
