Lately even climbing the stairs in my building leaves me totally out of breath and sometimes i feel breathless just sitting. Im in my third trimester now. Is this just the baby pressing up or something i should mention to my doc?
Yes, feeling a bit breathless is common, especially later when the baby pushes up on your lungs. I got winded just climbing stairs in my third trimester. Take it slow and rest, but if breathlessness is sudden or severe, call your gynac.
Mild breathlessness is normal, but if it comes on suddenly, with chest pain or a racing heart, dont wait, see a doctor. I had to get checked once to be safe. Better cautious than sorry with breathing issues.
I get out of breath just walking to the kitchen now, baby is clearly squishing my lungs. Apparently very normal in the last months. Still, I feel like I ran a marathon to fetch a glass of water, lol.
