I DONT Like this Sypmptom!!!!!!!
I had the scary experience last night of having the worst shortness of breath. It felt like a panic attack even thow I know thats not what is happening.
I couldnt sit, and I couldnt lay down as it got worse....to the point where i felt really woozy.
On Thursday my obs explained it as there is a whole lot of factors.. there is more carbon dioxide in our blood when pregnant plus the baby is leaving less and less room for everything now.
I ended up ringing the midwives at the hospital last night for the first time...just explained that i simply could not slow my breathing down or take a deep breath.
She paniced me a little when she said it didn't sound baby related :help: :doh: ...and asked if I had asthma at all. I have never had asthma but it might be worth getting it looked into.
She told me that if i needed to, to come to emergency and get checked.
I thought going to the hospital and waiting hours was the worse thing I could do, plus talking to the midwife helped calm me a little...so I took myself off to bed with lots of pillows....popped on some relaxation music.
I eventually relaxed and started to get my breath back...and drifted off to sleep.
Being home alone is sometimes not very fun.
I am really sore today, like I had had the hiccups for hours on end.
I felt bubs wiggle around a lot when i moved onto my left hand side...so perhaps she was just lying really awkward and squashing me all up.
