Cant breathe?!

Question

Anyone else feeling suffocated? Im 27 weeks. And it feels like i cant breathe. It literally feels like someone is sitting on my chest. The only thing that semi helps is laying down. Any tip or tricks to make this "feeling" go away?

Answer

I was feeling that way, and routine blood work for a life insurance physical revealed I was little anemic. So I just made sure to eat a lot of iron beyond what was in my prenatal (eggs with the yolk, hummus, steak and liver) and feel so much better.

Answer

I've been feeling this way most of my pregnancy. I talked to my doctor and he was absolutely no help so unfortunately I have no  advice for you, but if you find something.. Please let us all know!!

I'm a full time student and sitting on these hard chairs in these little desks makes me feel like I'm gasping for air. I'm 26 weeks so we're about the same. I get up and take a walk around the hall every 25-30 mins to try and get the baby to move down and out of my lungs. That and some cold water usually helps a tiny bit.

Answer

This has been my main symptom in my entire second trimester it's miserable. Eating light helps if I eat too much I can't breath, laying down helps and walking sometimes helps but sitting makes it worse. Good luck!
