Hello everyone! I just delivered my baby on the 5th. What started out as a vbac ended up in a c section. Nothing went wrong other than after 24 hours of pitocin the baby wasn’t descending and we ended up deciding on c section.

Anyways...

I’m a couple days PP and noticing shortness of breath. It seems to only happens when I get up (off the couch or bed) and last for a few seconds until I’m able to catch my breath. It also seems to happen if I’m moving or on my feet for too long. It feels like someone is sitting on my chest and it’s hard to breath. I am able to take deep breaths no problem and have zero swelling. Is this normal? I’ve already called my dr and they said to keep an eye on it.
