Little man likes to hang out low, but still can't breath well.

For the most part he likes to lay across my abdomen under my belly button and kick everything from the belly button down.  Yet I can't breath well.  Is it just he is squishing everything up?  I have asthma but I never had these issues with my daughter and she was a lot higher than he is right now.

    yep.  That is the gist of it.  Someone posted a video of how as the uterus grows the organs get squished into places.  I would start taking things slower and see if that helps.  Also if you raise your hands over your head like you are reaching for the sky that will give you some extra lung volume.

    My baby is very low also and I've had to slow down A LOT to make sure I'm not out of breath or uncomfortable. Some days I feel I'm moving at snails pace but if it makes I can breath easier then who cares. Slow things down and take your time that's my advice and the advice my midwife gave me. GL!

    Everything gets cramped in there when the baby grows.  Just take it easy and do lots of stretching.
