OMG Amy!! I cannot even begin to imagine. I am sure what makes this all worse is knowing that Claire was scared during the whole thing, not knowing what was going on. I have heard the potassium info. before.

When I was pg. with Oliver, I had a similar situation, but it stopped earlier than yours. I was driving with Jack and Henry up to Madison (far away from home) and was about 30 wks. pg. I had to pull over very quickly on the highway (cars going 80mph) b/c I felt like everything was spinning. Total headcase. Probably the phase before fainting. It didn't go any further than that, but I ended up calling 911 as a 'just in case.' They talked me through it, but it scared the living hell out of me to have 2 kids on a freeway with cars going 80mph next to us and a knocked out mom up front.

I can only imagine how scary that was. Ugh! How freaky!! I bet the medical issues aren't super severe, but it's obviously scary and hopefully preventable from happening again. So sorry!!
