Why is it so hard to breathe during triplet pregnancy?

Massive comprssion!: Your triplets are usually all of the available space in their "room"(your uterus) and pushing up and compressing your diaphragm(breathing muscle) so that it is difficult to expand it downward into your abdomen when you are taking a breath.

Lots going on inside: In your abdomen and may encroach on your diaphragm which may prevent your ability to make a full inhalational breath. Thus, it may be hard to breath. Your obstetrician may be of assistance to help with some tips that may help during your pregnancy.
