28 weeks preg lots of acid reflex having trouble breathing at times is this normal feels like i get outta breathe easy ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Common symptoms: The sensation of being out of breath or difficulty breathing is common later in pregnancy. As the uterus gets bigger, it prevents the diaphragm from moving as much as usual during breathing. This gives you the feeling of difficulty "catching your breath." If you are gasping for air (can't talk), having chest pain, or coughing uncontrollably, seek medical attention immediately.
