BREATHLESSNESS
Causes:
Breathlessness
is also a common phenomena experienced by pregnant women.
As your baby grows and your womb expands and extends upwards,
your lungs become choked and have less room to expand and
take in oxygen. You may feel comfortable from your 36th week
onwards when your baby's head descends lower in to the pelvis
in preparation for birth. However this may not happen until
you go into labour, especially is this is not your first baby.
Remedies:
- All
you can do is try to experiment with different positions:sitting
backwards on a high-back chair and resting your arms along
the top seems to increase breathing.
- Sleep
with your chest propped upon pillows.
Consult your doctor
if breathlessness is severe and is not related to physical
activity.
