My doctor's office is closed now or else I would call them. I don't think this is an emergency, so I'm hoping you ladies here can help me.
Every now and then I feel a pressure on my lungs and it makes me feel like I'm having problems breathing. (I feel it right now). I get this feeling when I'm sitting straight up and sometimes when I'm laying in bed at night. Is this normal? ?
Re: Anyone else feel pressure on lungs?
Thank you all for putting my mind at ease! This feeling really does suck!
?And yes, they do have an emergency phone number but I didn't think this was something urgent to call my doctor's office about. I knew you wonderful ladies here would know if this was normal or not.?Thanks again!
This is what I was thinking.....sucks!!
I'm late responding but I'm a 0-6 monther that was bored and saw this. It might just be the baby, but it wouldn't hurt you to go into L&D and get checked. That happened to me at 37 weeks and I got checked at L&D and they sent me home. Three days later was admitted to begin induction and to make a long story short, the having problems breathing was because there was too much fluid around my lungs and heart.
I do not say this at all to scare you, because chances are, it IS just the baby. But it never hurts to check. If I had persisted that day in L&D when they sent me home, it would have saved me from getting admitted to ICU after baby was born. I just don't want you to go through that. If you're bored, you can read my birth story which goes further into it:

Again, not trying to freak you out, and I'm sorry if I did. Good luck!
