A member asked:
What does it hurt to breath and you are pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Get checked: One possibly serious cause of this symptom would be a blood clot in the lung (pulmonary embolus) which can occur if your legs are swelling or you have varicose veins due to the pregnancy. Other possibilities can be as simple as bruised ribs, bronchitis or pleurisy. Your doctor can help discover the cause.
