Can't breathe :(

I'm only 21 weeks and I'm already short of breath and feel like my lungs are getting squashed. Is it just because everything's squashed up? I just can get comfy to relax lately and it's getting me very irritated! It doesn't help that is 35•C everyday! I feel for the mamas that are further and bigger, especially in the heat!

I went through that around that time but mine went away about a week later. Hang in there! Hopefully, you'll feel better soon.

I had to give up playing my clarinet til after the baby due to not enough oxygen.to go around for the both of us and the instrument. It's sad. I gave itup about 3 weeks ago finally after trying ans failing. I'm 22 weeks now.
