Body gasping for air involuntarily?

Question

So I’m currently 31 weeks and since I got into my third trimester sometimes my body seems to gasp for air involuntarily. Also when falling asleep it does it more then and sometimes it wakes me up out of my sleep as if I wasn’t breathing. Is this normal or should I be concerned?

Answer

Sounds like sleep apnea. You’re definitely going to want to speak to your doctor about it as sleep apnea can be dangerous/cause more serious health problems. It may not be sleep apnea but best to be safe than sorry.

Answer

Hmm... Probably nothing, but could be sleep apnea that the pregnancy is exacerbating. Ask OB. They may refer you to a sleep specialist to assess.

Answer

I have that n not pregnant. Idk why it does it

Answer

Omg that happened to me when I was pregnant. I would just randomly suck in a huge breath without meaning to. It was almost like a tic or something. It went away after having baby.
