A member asked:
My wife is 7 mnths pregnant and often short of breath. is this a big problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Imagine if you overate a HUGE meal and needed to unfasten your belt to even move let alone breathe. That's what it is like for a pregnant woman whose lungs are compressed by a pregnancy pushing up against her diaphragm(breathing muscle) preventing the lungs from expanding except it is 3 times more constricting. Have some empathy with her as guess who caused the problem in the first place. (you)
