Anyone else can’t breathe at all, what the heck do you do?!

No matter what I do- sit up, lean back, lay elevated, stand, stretch, walk, it doesn’t matter, I CANT BREATHE. It’s driving me insane taking these shallow breaths, not being able to fully yawn, it’s like my body is gasping for air! I almost feel claustrophobic like I’m suffocating or something. What do you do?! I genuinely have never had this with my other 2 babies (or maybe I did at the very end) but I’m only 26.5 weeks right now, this shouldn’t be happening yet 😭 my bump isn’t even that big or high!!

I’m having the same issue and also 26.5 weeks! Have you had your iron checked recently? Low iron can cause shortness of breath. Also when I feel like it’s baby’s position I put my hands above my head and try to make space. This isn’t second baby and I feel like this pregnancy has been way harder!

Metformin

I took my first dose of Metformin last night and so far all my readings have been high - I had a small cooked breakfast and went for a good 30 minute walk afterwards and my reading was 6.8 after 2 hours …my after food readings have very rarely been an issue unless I eat a whole bunch of chocolate is this common with taking Metformin initially ?

Anyone else third trimester with a toddler?

IMO I usually am pretty patient but today / this weekend I’m feeling quite ratty / impatient with both my toddler and husband. Does anyone else feel like this in tri 3? Does it get easier?

Horse Riders

Any other horsey girls on here? I’m currently nearly 32 weeks pregnant, I told myself I’d stop at 30 weeks, less than 2 weeks later and I had to just have a quick sit on🫣 Have you chosen to ride or stop during pregnancy? And those that have already had babies, how long did it take for you to get back on after birth? ❤️

19 weeks 4th baby no movement felt yet

I do have an anterior placenta but thought I should have at least felt a flutter by now but nothing? Should I be worried?
