Trouble breathing

knottiefab07d140ab11f31

I’m 34 weeks(3rd baby) and have always had Asthma but for some reason up until the last week or 2 it has kicked into overdrive and I can’t stand up or even sit up without needing my inhaler which isn’t doing much to help. Also my stomach is staying tight a lot more regularly so that doesn’t help either. Thoughts?

Contact your doctor. Shortness of breath can be a symptom of pre-eclampsia. Hopefully that’s not it but it’s best to let them know. Maybe they have some other solution

If it's not preeclampsia or asthma related, and just the baby being up in your ribs and squishing your lungs, I find keeping my arms above my head helps me breathe better. Obviously can't do that at work much but if you're just watching TV on the sofa and are huffing and puffing, I just lean back and put my hands behind my head.
