During pregnancy the flow of blood increases in the body for proper supply of oxygen and food nutrients to reach the foetus, as a result the body’s blood pressure decreases. This becomes a major cause of low blood pressure or hypotension in a majority of pregnant women.

Here are a few steps to ease the symptoms of low blood pressure:

• Lie on your left side as it increases the flow of blood to your heart.
• Avoid sudden movements, particularly when standing up from a seated position.
• Consume several small meals during the day instead of large meals.
• Exercise regularly. 
• Drink plenty of fluids.
