Hard to breathe when laying down?

Question

I’m 10 wks and have started to notice when I’m laying down it’s becoming harder to breathe, feel like I’m always trying to catch my breath. Drives me crazy when I’m trying to fall asleep. Helps when I sit up more. Thinking it’s probably just the extra blood volume and me being out of shape?! Anyone else experience this?

Answer

Omg I thought I was the only one. Every night after doing my bedtime routine, I get in bed and lay on my side and I notice that I can’t catch my breath!! So weird! For me though it actually helps to lay on my back and steady my breathing before laying on my side again. I have no idea why this is happening but I’m glad I’m not alone 😂

Answer

Yes! I didn’t experience it with my first pregnancy until later, but I am definitely experiencing it already with this one. I will be 11 weeks on Saturday, and it’s been happening for at least a week.

Answer

I’m experiencing it again this time around as well. Are you laying on your back? It’s supposed to help if you lay on your left side. I usually lay on my left side with my upper body propped up a little as well.
