Im in my 6th month and lately even walking from one room to another leaves me out of breath. Climbing stairs is the worst, i have to stop midway. Is this just because of the growing belly or should i be worried? Anyone else felt this around this time?
My gynac explained that mild breathlessness is common because the growing uterus pushes up against the lungs and hormones change ur breathing too. She said little breathless on stairs is normal in later months. But if it's sudden or with chest pain, she told me to come in immediately.
Some breathlessness is normal but please dont ignore if it feels severe or comes with swelling or fast heartbeat. I was asked to report any sudden breathing trouble. Better to call ur doctor and be safe than sorry.
In my third trimester even walking to the kitchen left me huffing, baby was clearly sitting on my lungs, lol. Doc said it's normal at this stage. Just slow down and dont rush around yaar.
