Help with symptoms?25w

Question

Hi ladies:

I am 25 weeks and I have two newish symptoms that I plan to discuss with doctor but wanted to know if you can relate and what your doctors have said:

1.) I get the feeling I can't breathe or rather am not getting enough air. Usually this is when I am sitting-- like at a restaurant or at my desk at work. It's like I am breathing through a straw and sometimes I start to panic and get lightheaded.

2) over the last week or so I have had this pelvic pain/ soreness. Like if you had an intense stretch the day before or you rode a horse all day. But I obviously haven't. Sometimes the tension and pain around the crotch and between the thighs and hips is so bad it's hard to walk. I think it may be round ligament but anyone want to contribute?

Answer

Both are normal but still talk to your dr. Your baby is just crowding everything so everything in there is shifting up & it makes it harder to breathe. Keep calm & try sitting up straighter. 
Pelvic pain is pretty common. I've had it every pregnancy. Your hip bones are spreading and the cartilage between is loosening. You can try & do some stretches. Make sure you sleep on your side with a pillow between your legs.

Answer

Number 1 is normal. As the baby grows your uterus presses on your diaphragm which makes it hard to breathe...and that won't go away pretty much until you drop unfortunately. Number 2 I haven't experienced. I do get hip pain when I'm at work sometimes (I'm a server so I'm on my feet) and also at night when I'm laying on one side too long but that's about it

Answer

Thank you everyone. I see the doc on Monday and I'll bring this all up. But helpful to know I'm not alone or something's not terribly wrong.

Answer

I had 1 and 2. 1 gets worse the further along you get. I had some relief from 2 after doing more kegels. Try it to see if it helps!

Answer

Sounds normal! Hang in there! 😊
