A member asked:

33wks 4days pregnant.i feel shortness of breath now.really hard to breath and eat properly bcoz of this.is this discomforts common? am worried.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Common: As the uterus rises, it pushes on the intestines and stomach making you feel full and the pressure on the diaphragm, the main muscle of respiration causes you to feel short of breath. The increase in weight and the disadvantaged position makes your tolerance to activity even way less. Just keep your weekly follow up with your doctor now and discuss your concerns and relax.
