The respiration rate is the number of breaths a person takes per minute.
There is only limited research relating to monitoring respiratory rate, and these studies focused on issues such as the inaccuracy of respiratory rate measurement and respiratory rate as a marker for respiratory dysfunction.
The rate is usually measured when a person is at rest and simply involves counting the number of breaths for one minute by counting how many times the chest rises. Respiration rates may increase with fever, illness, and with other medical conditions. When checking respiration, it is important to also note whether a person has any difficulty breathing.
Normal respiratory rates, by age:
Newborns: Average 44 breaths per minute
Infants: 20-40 breaths per minute
Preschool children: 20-30 breaths per minute
Older children: 16-25 breaths per minute
Adults: 12 to 20 breaths per minute
Respiratory rhythm should be regular.
Respiratory depth (as seen in the amplitude or excursion of chest wall movement) should also be the same between breaths.
Regular respiratory rate, rhythm, and depth are interrupted occasionally by a large breath (called a “sigh”) in normal subjects.

Normal respiration rates for an adult person at rest range from 15 to 20 breaths per minute. Respiration rates over 25 breaths per minute or under 12 breaths per minute (when at rest) may be considered abnormal.
The normal pulse for healthy adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute.
Hope this helps

Your job has to accommodate your pregnancy and your DR request to either put you in an easier position or give you less hours. There are laws about this. I would have your DR write up something for your work stating that until you deliver that you can not do any job that involves excessive amounts of standing or lifting or whatever it is you do that is causing you such a great deal of pain. I also do not know how long you've had your current job, but if you've worked for over 12 months at this job then you qualify for FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act) where due to issues with your pregnancy you can leave work and still be paid for an appropriate amount of time. Maybe that is something you should look into. I do not know how far along you are either.. Excessive swelling can sometimes be something to worry about so I would keep pressuring your DR to make sure everything is ok and baby is ok. Try not to stress out and try to rest as much as possible. I hope that some of my advice is helpful to you..

Premature ejaculation is caused by specific things that you do before and during sex. Most of the time without even realizing it. Read here https://tr.im/LastLongerInBed
Premature ejaculation is not some gene you're born with, the result of your penis size or a part of your personality that you can never change.

the regular breathing for an adult is (according to basically all medical books) 12 times when resting.
(when checking yourself i bet it'll be more)
