Anyone else having SOB?

Question

I’m 24w pregnant and having shortness of breath when I lay down is that normal?

Answer

You should let your doctor check your iron levels. Low iron level contributes to low oxygen in the blood and as such SOB.

Answer

Yes I’m 25 weeks and started noticing it again the past few days. At first I was like oh crap Coronavirus (???!?) but I realized For me it’s when the baby is higher up and just putting pressure on things bc when she is low I don’t feel short of breath... just other pains lol .

Answer

Yessss! Mine started around 25 weeks (I’m 26 now) I have it during the day but for some reason at night it’s so much worse. Even if I’m not laying down. It doesn’t make much sense to me lol. I did find out I’m anemic though so the other comment about iron is correct and maybe something you should ask your doctor.

Answer

Yes. Make sure you prop your head up.

Answer

🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️ yes!! Same! I’m going to ask my dr about it at my next appointment. Mine gets terrible right before I fall asleep!

Answer

Yeah, sometimes I just have to change my sitting/laying position to make it better.  It sucks.

Answer

Yep, just take it slow. Everything changed in your body. It's normal unless you really cant breathe.

Answer

Yep. Everything is just a little squashed 😂

Answer

Yes, both the glow article and info from my insurance say shortness of breath can occur in this stage of pregnancy 😘
