Lately even climbing stairs and im out of breath, sometimes just sitting also feels heavy. Third trimester chal raha hai. Anyone found something that helped them breathe easier yaar?
Beta, in our days we were told to never sit hunched. Sit straight and keep your shoulders relaxed. You can also inhale some steam with a drop of pudina oil, but do it gently and don't strain yourself.
This is actually very common because the growing baby pushes against your diaphragm. Try not to rush into things, take slow deep breaths and rest frequently. If it gets very sudden or severe, don't wait and consult your doctor immediately.
I had thyroid during my pregnancy and experienced this a lot as the baby grew. Please make sure you are getting your regular blood tests and thyroid levels checked by your doctor. It's always best to keep your gynac in loop about any breathing discomfort.
Oh god, I feel you! Between my heavy vomiting and feeling breathless, it was so hard. Try sitting propped up with 2-3 pillows behind your back, it really helps to open up the chest so you can breathe easier.
With my office shifts and travel, breathing issues used to kick in fast. I started taking small 5-minute walking breaks and avoided stairs completely. Keep your cabin well-ventilated and don't hesitate to sit down if you feel tired.
