Breathing heavy

About 19 to 20w your lungs start to get crowded from baby and uterus, being short of breath is normal, but I'm not certain if it's normal to present like that, honestly

it is strange. I would understand if I am doing any kind of activity at the time, but this happens all while I am laying down.. I will need to check with doctor but my appointment is on 29th

I run out of breath almost instantly no matter what I'm doing .. I just slow deep breaths to get on a normal rhythm

Yes I get out of breath at physical or even mental exertion. Super embarrassing because I’m not even showing yet

For me it’s acid reflux. It’s not something I dealt with before but my allergy doctor said that shortness of breath after eating is acid reflux. I take antacid and sit upright for awhile to correct the issue.

At the same time, I also started getting GERDs for the first time. certain foods trigger it. That makes it hard to breath as well.

When it comes to indigestion, my OB said it’s normal during pregnancy as things are pushed up, I just need to eat smaller meals and avoid eating a couple hrs before bed.

I also have allergy induced asthma so the first time breathing issues happened, I was worried but antacid fixed it. Turns out it’s just food and food management. And I workout regularly and do not have an issues breathing with cardio. Just with food.

I once heard that pregnant women are supposed to lay on the left side for better blood circulation. Not necessarily if everything is alright when laying in other positions but since you’re having these difficulties I wonder if it could help you maybe.

I started to experience the same thing today at 19 weeks 4 days. Its uncomfortable ☹️
