Third trimester chal raha hai and i get breathless even walking to the kitchen. Feels like baccha is pushing up everything. How do u all manage this, any tips?
Breathing difficulties are quite common as the uterus grows and presses against the diaphragm, but it's always best to let your doctor know. They can evaluate if it's normal pregnancy shortness of breath or something that needs attention. Do check with your gynac.
Please be very careful with breathing issues. I had some blood pressure complications during my pregnancy, and my doctor told me never to take shortness of breath lightly. If you feel dizzy or have chest pain, go to your doctor or hospital immediately.
I know how exhausting it is when you can't even breathe properly, especially on top of bad morning sickness! Try to rest, sit up straight, and don't exert yourself. Definitely speak to your gynac to make sure your iron levels are fine, as low iron can also cause this.
My saas always told me to sit straight and use extra pillows under my head while sleeping, which really helped. But if the breathing problem feels too heavy or sudden, don't ignore it and ask your doctor immediately.
I totally understand how scary and uncomfortable it feels when you can't take a deep breath, dear. Try to do some light breathing exercises in fresh air, but please promise me you will mention this to your doctor in your next visit just to be safe. Sending you lots of love.
