Shortness of breath after eating

Hi guys! I am currently 27 weeks pregnant and for a few weeks now I’ve noticed sometimes after I eat breakfast I get short of breath and feel almost exhausted. I normally eat a bowl of oatmeal and some sweet potatoes which I know is a lot of sugar so I’m not sure if maybe it’s blood sugar related. Or maybe I’m just running out of room 😅Just wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this

Yes, I feel that!

I'm 28 weeks and sometimes I swear I can feel when baby has grown.  After meals (especially larger ones) I feel short of breath, as if he's taken up all the extra room in there.  Then, over the next couple of days, I stretch to accommodate.  That's how it feels anyhow!

I talked to my midwife who suggested breaking up my regular portions in two - one for now, one for later (after about an hour).  When I can do that, it keeps me on track nutritionally, instead of eating a small meal then an easy sweet snack later when I have room again!

Yes I feel the same way! I will try breaking my portions in half I think that would help

I also feel weird after breakfast (also oatmeal). I get a kind of nauseous and tired feeling. I don't feel that way with other meals. It's so strange!
