breathing - Pregnancy

LT · 11-06-2009, 12:38 AM

I feel like i can't breathe, the smallest distance gets me out of breath and i'm not even that big, i'm only 28 weeks. I am not even back at my pre-pregnancy weight after losing the 17lbs in the first few weeks.
I have no energy, i feel nausious and i'm out of breath, yuck yuck yuck

Anyone else feeling sucky lately?

I feel like that like every other day. Its hard to catch my breath, If I lay a certain way it feels like someone taking my breath away.

I mostly get like that when I'm up moving around. I won't realize how quickly I was trying to move until I'm huffing and puffing. Thankfully bebe has already dropped so I have room for my lungs.

I get that way when I go up the stairs. I usually have to sit down for a minute if I go up and down them a few times within a few minutes of eachother. Just try to stay safe and don't push yourself!!

I've been extremely exhausted lately and battling intermittent nausea and vomiting. Also been short of breath and have sore lungs. It's all the joys of being pregnant.

Yes! It's gotten progressively worse. It used to be just when I sat down I'd have trouble breathing since my uterus/baby were pressing on my lungs, but yesterday it got worse. I started having trouble breathing just by walking around, sitting down, standing up, and even when I was driving. I started feeling all lightheaded and dizzy, and nauseous, like I was going to pass out. My OB actually sent me to the ER last night to get checked. She figured it was just the baby, but wanted to make sure it wasn't something else, like a blood clot. After a chest x-ray, oxygen and heart monitoring, bloodwork, and an EKG they figured out it was nothing.

It sucks and I know it's only going to get worse! I can't wait for this little boy to drop so I can breathe normally again!
