Sleep apnea?? Or something else?

Lauren • 👨‍👩‍👧

I’m 39 weeks pregnant, and last night I suddenly woke up out of my sleep unable to breathe. I physically couldn’t take a breath, like someone had been choking me. I ran to the bathroom and was gagging and having urges to vomit, and after what seemed like forever I finally was able to take deep breaths again, but my throat was on fire. I was terrified!

I’ve had a very healthy and normal pregnancy. Could I be developing sleep apnea??
