Question

Olivia is just beginning her third trimester of pregnancy, and she made an appointment with her obstetrician to discuss some new symptoms she's experiencing. She has noticed increasing puffiness in her feet, to the point that her old shoes no longer fit. When she stands up after sitting or lying down, she feels a bit dizzy and faint. Even more concerning, Olivia noticed that she feels sweaty, nauseous, and particularly dizzy when she lies down on her back. Olivia tells the doctor she finds this frustrating, since she gets tired quickly and wants to be able to rest as much as possible. Olivia's doctor examines her and notes tachycardia and hypotension. She tells Olivia that the symptoms she's noticing are quite common in pregnant women and are sometimes diagnosed as supine hypotensive syndrome. The condition gets its name because these pregnant women experience hypotension when lying on their backs, or in a "supine" position.
