Glad I havent hit that stage yet. Im 26 weeks Tuesday:)
Im experiencing the same EXACT problems as you. Tomorrow i will be exactly 28 weeks and i cannot lay down comfortably at all, i feel like im gasping for air so i have to start sleeping sitting upwards. My husband cant hug me becausr i feel like im suffocating. Im sure its all because our uterus is crowding our lung space. Sitting upwards helps me alot

Thank you I hope all of you of feel better as well
I feel like that even more and more everyday and also makes me panic a little too. I feel it more after I eat so I have to eat very little. I'm already 35 weeks and can't wait for it to be over bc of this too. Good luck I hope you feel better
Thank you very much that was helpful :)
I've been having this symptom since about 10 weeks. I'm now 30 weeks and still have it on and off. Some days are a lot better than others but as soon as you get that suffocating feeling, it's the worst thing ever. I have been to doctors and also had to be assessed at the hospital, they checked for blood clots as they can sometimes travel from your legs to your lungs and make breathing difficult (this is very rare), and that all came back clear. I have accepted it's just part of pregnancy and must be because all your anatomy inside changes when you have a growing baby and uterus inside of you. I find the worst thing you can do it lay on your back and also that it is a lot worse when you have a full stomach so try not to eat large meals. It seems to be unavoidable and like there's no quick fix, but when you feel it coming on try and sit as upright as possible and make sure there's a fresh air source close to you. I hope it subsides for you soon. I can't wait to have my baby and get back to feeling normal! All the best.
Oh dear well at least it sounds pretty normal but I'm gunna double check with my Dr
Yes I had it last night & I definitely can't sleep on my back at all
I feel the exact same! I just breath as much as I can through it. I'm 33 weeks and it's been happening for a month or so now.
Wow that's crazy you said that bc I just turnt 29wks today but I started feeling the short of breath at 28 wks one night I felt like I was dying it was crazy! Like my boyfriend that I was crazy too lol
Yes Im the same since I reach 30 weeks until now my last week still breathless
Its probably just your uterus expanding its.pushing your stomach and everything else up to make.more room. I'm 13 wks w #3 a d I feel like that after I eat its.crazy. it just gets worse too...
Yes idk what it is I'm only 12w5d and it happen to me the other day.
