What's wrong with being pregnant?

For pregnant women, every abnormal condition that occurs in their body deserves their attention. Any abnormal condition in your body may not only affect your own health, but may also be a sign of physical abnormality in the baby in your belly. Many women in the late stages of pregnancy find themselves having trouble breathing, which they feel like they are suffocating. So why do pregnant women feel so anxious?

I am seven months pregnant and I feel short of breath. Why?

During pregnancy, vomiting, acid reflux, frequent urination, urgency and weakness in urination, loss of appetite, and dry heaving are all normal phenomena. Everyone's physical constitution is different during pregnancy, and the symptoms of pregnancy will also be different. As long as there is no abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding, it is not a big deal.

In the late stages of pregnancy, the fetus gradually grows larger and rises to press on the diaphragm. It is normal to experience symptoms such as chest tightness and shortness of breath. However, those who experience severe chest tightness and shortness of breath should be alert to the possibility of heart failure. You need to go to the hospital immediately for fetal heart monitoring to prevent fetal malformation.

What to do if you feel short of breath during your seventh month of pregnancy

1. When a pregnant woman is short of breath, she can try to take a deep breath. This can help her breathe more fresh air and provide sufficient nutrients to various organs. The specific method is to choose a place with fresh air. When you take a deep breath, expand your abdomen first, then expand your chest. After reaching the limit, gradually exhale the gas.

2. When you feel chest tightness and shortness of breath, you should keep your upper body straight and your shoulders back. This will help expand your lungs. When sitting, try to expand your chest as much as possible, which will help you inhale more oxygen. Sleep on your left side at night or raise your head when sleeping.

3. Appropriate exercise should be done during pregnancy to improve physical fitness. You can choose light exercises such as yoga and walking to improve lung capacity, increase breathing function, and improve symptoms of shortness of breath. You can walk for 20 to 30 minutes every night after dinner until you feel tired.

The body will undergo many changes during pregnancy, especially for some pregnant women with weaker bodies, the discomfort symptoms will become more serious. During pregnancy, pregnant women must get enough rest, avoid doing heavy work, and must take the health of the child as the main goal. The mood of pregnant women will also affect the development of the fetus, and maintaining a good mood is good for the child.
