Women are being advised to sleep on their side in the last three months of pregnancy, women in their third trimester are encouraged not to sleep on their backs. When they sleep on their back, the chances of the heavy uterus can reduce blood flow to the uterus and fetus, which can result in a stillbirth. Also, women are encouraged to sleep on their left side, as this is considered the best choice because the uterus naturally alternates to the right during pregnancy and left-sided lying will bring it more to the center and improve blood flow.

To help her sleep, a pillow can be placed between her legs or a long body pillow to support the back are often helpful. When a pillow is placed direct at her back and front, it helps support her body, resulting in a more comfortable position for sleep.

The major reason why she is having lightheadedness and dizziness when she lies on her back is that the weight of her uterus can compress a major blood vessel, called the vena cava, this then disrupts blood flow to the baby, leaving her nauseated, dizzy, and short of breath.

Drinking too much water during exercise can cause a condition in which the concentration of sodium in the blood is lower than no
OlgaM077 [116]

The right answer is Cells shrivel as water moves out of them.

Water intoxication (hyperhydration) occurs when too much water consumption causes a decrease in the concentration of electrolytes in the blood, partly because the electrolytes are eliminated in excessive amounts, on the other hand by increasing blood volume without sufficient electrolytes. When the intercellular (extracellular) medium is too diluted relative to the intracellular medium, the osmotic pressure induced by this difference can cause the cells concerned to explode (the cell wall ruptures under pressure), in the first place the nerve cells, which causes disorders brain that can be severe or even fatal.
