•Stand up slowly from seated or lying positions.

•Change positions often. Don’t stand or sit in one place for too long.

•Don’t get overheated. Avoid hot showers or baths.

•Try to avoid lying flat on your back during the third trimester.

•Eat regular meals.

•Drink enough fluids.

•Get enough exercise. Walking is a good exercise during pregnancy. If you feel faint or dizzy during exercise, stop. 

•Sit down, bend over, and breathe deeply or lie on your side when you feel dizzy. Both positions increase the flow of blood to your brain.

•Tell your healthcare provider about your symptoms. He or she may want to check if you have anemia.
