Finding It Hard to Breath
Posted: 06-12-07 12:12pm

hi i'm about 32 and half weeks and i am finding it hard to breath sometimes. It feels like my baby is sitting right under my chest and kicking my ribs. Now i know this is probably normal... but sometimes its hard to walk or do anything because it feels like i just ran a marathon lol. My doctor says its normal.. but has anyone else ever felt this before? And is there anyway to get your baby out of your ribs lol?

I'm feeling that way all the time. I'm always huffing and puffing. Then, when you eat something it gets worse. If i eat a normal meal, rather than just snacking, I have to stretch out on the couch and pant for an hour before I start getting back to normal. And when we go shopping or something, I feel so bad because I walk so slow (or I guess I should say I waddle) and my boyfriend always has to stop and wait until I catch up. We were shopping for material to make curtains in the bedroom yesterday and I'm usually so fussy about things like that but I was like "just get whatever so I can go sit down!". Laughing

totally normal.

I began to feel out of breath at about 18 weeks with my 1st pregnancy. It never got better!!

lol!! I remember when me and .baron would walk somewhere, he'd try to spark up a convo.

I'd tell him "look, either I walk, or I talk. I can't do both!" lmao! I'd be panting like a dog, just from telling him *that*!! hahahahha!!

gotta love pregnancy!!!!

Lol. I had to speak in church the other week and whenever I did my voice was all shaky because I had to walk all the up there and was out of breath the whole time. I sounded like I was about to cry the whole time! It was very interesting...
