Fainting is common during pregnancy. the blood may pool in the lower body and the brain may become temporarily deprived of oxygen, causing fainting or dizziness.
Suggestions:
>> Avoid standing for long periods of time
>> While standing practice contracting and relaxing your leg and buttocks muscles to help blood return to your head
>> When resting lay on your side as opposed to your back
>> When sitting return to standing slowly
>> Don't get out of a hot bath too quickly
>> Keep cool in hot weather
>> If you feel faint, sit to avoid injury and place your head lower than your body, kneeling on all fours works too
>> Take a few drops of Bach Rescue Remedy as soon as your start to feel faint
>> Make sure you blood sugar isn't low, eat small protein rich snacks throughout the day
>> Shiatsu points Lung 9 (LU9) and Heart 7 (HT7) together, if done by someone else, or separately if alone, for 5-7 seconds, repeat three times, then do the same to the opposite arm
