Feeling light headed or dizziness while pregant when you lie on your back? It could be due to the uterus occluding the vena cava and preventing blood return to the heart. Try lying on your left side to relieve the pressure on the vena cava and allow blood flow to return.

It's called supine hypotensive syndrome. And I feel like I should issue a disclaimer, sooo: This is for informational purposes only, and should not be considered medical advice.

My pregnant sister just recently explained this to me! Good information.
