During the third trimester, lying on the back for an extended period can lead to reduced fetal oxygenation and maternal dizziness.
True
False
True. In the third trimester, lying on the back can compress the inferior vena cava, reducing blood return to the heart and decreasing cardiac output. This can cause supine hypotensive syndrome, where the mother may experience dizziness, and fetal oxygenation may decrease due to reduced uteroplacental blood flow. Educating clients to adopt side-lying positions helps optimize blood circulation and promote both maternal comfort and fetal health.
