    Out of Breath

    Hi. I'm 31 weeks tomorrow and I'm already finding myself really short of breath sometimes. Does anyone know if relaxation excersises or something like that helps? Or do I just have to put up with this for another 9 or so weeks?!:eek:

    Yes definately. I have had heaps of issues in the 3rd trimester with catching my breath and have found my hypnobirthing relaxations really help.

    Amy - I was really out of breath for about the last 8 weeks - Charlie was pushing right up under my ribs, i found that all i could do was put up with it.
    Hope it comes good for you soon. ( makes you feel so unfit doesn't it!!!)

    Thanks guys. I have been trying to stretch and breathe deeply etc. This afternoon I went for a walk and was panting by the time I got to the top of the driveway LOL! Do you just get hypnobirthing CDs over the web? Some people say they help during the birth too, don't they?
