A member asked:

I'm having a breathing problem 15 weeks pregnant wit twins ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Twin pregnancy: Twins can cause a much larger uterine volume than a singleton and so can cause splaying of the lower rib margins with some lung compression much earlier in the pregnancy. It might normal. But see you OB doc to make sure.thanks
