Pregnancy and passing out?

So I am 12 almost 13 weeks with #2. I have been having morning sickness since 8 weeks. I have been throwing up 1-3 times a day ( with a few bad days in between). I am on zofran and phenigrin for the throwing up. I have thrown up 11 times today ( bad day) and one of the times I passed out and tetany ( muscles got all tense). My question to anyone who has passed out or had medical experience is this bad for the baby? I will probably give my doctor a call in the morning. With my first pregnancy I threw up 4-10 times a day for the first trimester but I never passed out. But I did throw up blood with the first.

Update:

I have been having really low blood pressure and I am just entering my second trimester. Sorry no Heelp syndrome.

    Yikes. First off, I am SO sorry you're having such a hard pregnancy! I can feel your pain, but I'm at least not throwing up like that *knocks on wood*... Just have my own set of medical issues. Heh.

    I am glad you're going to call your Dr, cuz they will have the best information for you... but I also know how important it is to get reassurance! So, I will let you know that I have passed out several times since I've been pregnant, and my midwives and main Dr aren't too worried about it. They said that the only real danger of it is where/when I pass out! (Don't want to fall and hit your tummy or your head etc, or be in the middle of a parking lot!)

    However, they have done lots of blood work and other tests on me to make sure everything is normal. From what I've heard, this can occasionally be a normal (but annoying) pregnancy symptom. Obviously if you are STAYING unconcioius, that is a whole different ball game! I am only out for a few seconds at a time, so it doesn't cut off any oxygen to the baby or anything. Also though, I had low blood pressure off and on before I was pregnant, and would occasionally faint because of it... it has just gotten a lot worse since I've conceived, and I sometimes have to lay down on my left side for an hour or more before it passes. (Try the left side thing, it actually does seem to help... it just takes a bit some of the time. Also, make sure you are staying hydrated enough with all that throwing up! If you're not, talk with your Dr and maybe have them start an IV for ya... it can seriously help your blood pressure, and isn't that big of a deal for them to do when needed.)

    Anyhow, definitely follow up with your Dr, but hopefully there is nothing to worry about for you as well, and this is just a bump in the road in this crazy (but wonderful) journey! :)

    Good luck to you girly, I hope that all turns out great for you, and that you start to feel better in general soon!!! You poor dear! Take good care.

    Make sure you are not suffering from hypertension, or HEELP syndrome. these are common signs for these.
