True fainting (not the careful swoon with a soft landing) is caused by a decrease in the flow of blood to the brain. Less than ten seconds will produce profound unconsciousness.
The prime treatment is to lay the patient flat and raise their legs, since the primary cause of fainting is a redistribution of blood to all the wrong places.

Fainting is not very common. If you keep your fluids up and eat healthily then your chance of fainting will be very slim, as the body will try to keep you from fainting in order to protect the baby from an accidental fall.
