36 weeks and shortness of breath!

I’m experiencing sudden shortness of breath while laying down and it started from this morning. I’m fine while sitting , walking but when I lie down I feel like I can’t breath!!
Anyone had similar experience?

I’ve been getting that and my doctor, called it hunger for air from the baby pressing into your lungs

My baby does it to me all day while I work. (I stand at work). I yawn a lot because I am trying to get more air.

It could be due to restricted vena cava. You know how they advise that in the 3rd trimester you sleep on your side, not on your back? It’s because laying on your back can restrict the blood flow and hence the oxygen that gets to your brain and other organs, including the uterus. And shortness of breath while laying on your back is one of the symptoms, as my OB explained. But you should of course check with your OB.

Just want to sleep again! 🫩

I wake up around 8.30am, have some cereal, meditate/pray for a bit, make a cuppa and then by 10am I’m tired again and could easily nap. My iron levels have been checked and were fine. Is it just me or is anyone else feeling like this? I’m currently 35 weeks pregnant 👀

C - section

Hello lovelies, I’m getting closer to my date of c section.

Can I ask how it all went for you? I felt prepared and now I have this awful feeling what if I bleed out! I’m sure that’s not the case. But I just wondered how it went, and how the aftermath was. I have seen on social media people say it’s horrendous but then I speak to friends and family and they’re like yeah it’s not easy but you can cope! You can walk, etc. I think it’s the unknown… lol!

Also were you all sick during your procedure and did you all get terrible trapped gas? If so what tips do you have xx

Can you see anything? I’m 12 DPO 🙏

My own opinion is that this is inconclusive (can maybe see a vvvfl but could also be an indent too hard to tell) but curious what others see

Princess birthday party

My child will be turning 5 over the summer and they’ve asked for a princess party but keep changing their mind on which princess they’d like to most their party so have said I can choose 🙈 which princess would your child have chosen at a similar age or if you’ve been to a few princess parties which one was best?

Review at 36 weeks

Has anyone had An anesthesia review at 36 weeks?
What is this for as I never had this with my first?
I am being scanned every 3 weeks as my first was small and now my second is measuring small.
