so i’m 35w & 5 days and when i lay down no matter how i lay it’s almost as if i can barley breathe & have to sit up to be able to catch a breath.

Hmm. I don't have this problem lying down, but sometimes I have it in the car because my diaphragm is pushing against my ribs. I have to lengthen my spine and sit up as straight as I possibly can to relieve the pressure.

I had this problem last night. It’s so horrible 😭

Omg!!! I have this problem!! Even getting an ultrasound I almost passed out

I have this through out the day, in the car as Tiffani said and just randomly. I’m assuming it’s something to do with positioning and where the baby is laying.

I am experiencing this currently and what’s even worse is between maybe 4pm in the evening and 10 am I have trouble breathing and cough a bunch which worsens when I lay down. :(

Yes it’s normal! Baby is just up in your diaphragm. I sometimes have to sit up really quickly to catch h my breath even if I’m on my side and full supported!

i think my baby is still transverse in my belly tho so idk if he is or not

i don’t have a cough but it’s almost impossible to breath sometimes

I have this going on. I can’t breathe and at first I thought it was like panic attacks but then it was happening every time I lay. It’s awful I’m not sleeping at all

yees anytime laying down i gotta sit up to be able to breath in the slightest it’s so uncomfortable and almost feels like my blood isnt moving lol

Yes same for me. I guess it’s normal then lol this is my third pregnancy and I have never experienced it before.

it’s my first pregnancy but it’s tough lol

When I roll from one side to the other or first initially lay down, I have to catch my breath

yes same here but even if i just lay down i automatically have to sit up to breath.

i have an appointment wednesday and i’ll talk to my doctor about it but it’s so rough lmao

Yes. Me too. The side is better than straight away n my back even if I’m just lounging on the couch.
