I cant stand the feeling of not being able to breathe! No one can! Im 25 weeks and it feels like someone is choking me and blocking my air ways especially when i lay down at night. I get heart palpitations that scare the **** out of me too. Wtf is going on? Definitely going to ask my dr next time i see him too!

I am expecting my 4th. Even early on I would feel like I was out of breathe or extremely out of shape, when I have always been very active and a runner.  Just putting laundry away takes away my breathe and I have to sit down. As the baby gets bigger I remember feeling like the kid was up into my lungs.  Sleeping can be very difficult due to this as well acid reflux. Both making feel hard to breathe.  You might want to try downloading a respiratory tracker if your phone allows.  This can help gauge whether or not you are getting enough oxygen to support not only you but that growing baby.  If that says your oxygen is low then I'd contact your doctor.

I just made a post today about feeling like I can barely breath and had women tell me they experienced the same thing! I'm 28 weeks and I'm thinking it's just because the baby is starting to take up more space but I'm no doctor lol! But I would say if it gets really bad to go in and definitely mentioned it to your doctor at your next appointment! Good luck Mama!

I would definitely  call you doctor rather than wait until your next appointment. Better to be sure, and sleeping on your side, mainly the left side, helps baby to get better oxygenation, helps.

I had the same issue 2 nights ago so I called my doctor and she told me to go straight to labor and delivery where I had an ekg, blood work and was put on an iv. So far all was fine, but will be referred to a cardialogist to get a heart monitor that I need to wear for 24hrs. I suggest you call your doctor and not wait until your next appointment.

Are you sleeping on your side? It's hard to breathe when your on your back therefore it is recommended to sleep on your side.
