Anyone else can’t freakin breathe?!!

Question

I’m currently 28 weeks and it’s gotten to the point where I breathe so heavy and wake up in the morning feeling like I’ve been suffocated all night long. It’s like a constant feeling of being out of breath all day long. Anyone else?

Answer

ME!! 🙋🏼‍♀️ I was definitely not this out of breath with my first until like the very end. But this time I’m struggling lol

Answer

Yes!! The baby is pressing up on our diaphragms.

Answer

🙋‍♀️! Also pregnancy sleep apnea is a thing. I was talking to my dr about it because I would wake up during the night not really able to breathe. She said to get a wedge or try to sleep in a recliner so you’re raised up while you sleep. It’s helped a lot. She said propping up on pillows isn’t really recommended because it can block your airway if it’s not the right angle. I’ve been able to figure it out with pillows but its been terrible before:(

Answer

It's a very normal pregnancy symptom. I am short (4'11") with a short torso and inability to breathe usually hits me pretty early during my pregnancy. It's already started occasionally with this one, but isn't all the time. I can't recall with my other two when it became a 24/7 thing. I think it was pretty early with my first, though. He had his knees stuck under my ribs for most of the third trimester. It even stunted his height a little (he was only 17.5 inches long!)
