I do. My last docs appointment id ask about it, she say its normal as you get bigger in your pregnancy. Its this thing called "tachycardia" where the hheartbeat is faster than normal, making it harder to breathe. I drink ice cold water now nd it helped me alot with breathing.

I have the same issue. I'm 28 weeks today and I went to the hospital last night because it for so bad. I couldn't even stand to brush my teeth ! They told me I was low on magnesium and the baby is pretty big and pushing on my diaphragm which causes it to be harder to breathe. They gave me a prescription for magnesium pills and told me to increase my water intake and just take it easy until I see my OB again.

I get out of breath getting in and out of bed lol

My fiancé and I have our bed against the wall, to save space, and my fiancé is paranoid, I need to sleep on the inside so I'm furthest from the doors and windows (in case of break in, he's closer to the gun and who they'll see first.)

So I have to haul my big belly up, crawl to the edge of the bed, crawl over his legs without falling face first on the floor, straighten up, go pee and then feel my way blindly back into bed the same way I left lol

When I get back in bed, and get comfy, my fiancé chuckles because he can feel my heart racing and my breathing is out of whack, and he knows I'm trying to be quiet for him lol
