Answer 1

TALK WITH YOUR DOCTOR. ASAP.

Do not take chances.

Answer 2

I answered a similar question a couple of days ago.

Around 24 -28 weeks the uterous is putting pressure on your lungs. This is the time when your uterous will Tilt up and outward a bit. That takes care of that feeling.

As the baby gets bigger your baby is dropping which gives some relief for the lungs. If you are like this near the end- you need to listen to your body. You might need to sleep with lots of pillows. I had one tucked in a bit under the bellie to give it some support. Sleep with your head a bit more elevated

With Pregnancy you will go through phases, that eventually pass.

Yeah, my wife did. Its normal. The baby is taking up quite a lot of room in there, so hang in there ok.
either you are a little one or your baby is a big one. 24 weeks is a bit early feeling breathing problems. dizziness is from the lack of Oxygen. So sit down and take as deep of breaths as you possibly can.
good luck

yes, i had difficulty breathing around twenty four weeks. although i was not rather large, (i was very small, infact) i found it was difficult breathing just standing up. i often had dizzy spells if i stood too long because of lack of breathe. when this happens i always sat down and drank a cold cup of water. theres really no way to get past this because your body is trying to adjust to the extra weight you are carrying. it will fade, good luck! furthermore, if this really becomes a big concern you should consult your doctor. like the comment above, i told my doctor and he said it was because i was anemic and i had a huge lack of iron in my system making me easily worn out. hope youre taking your iron pills!

Answer 5

i never had trouble breathing until later on. but just put your legs up, and when you lay down always sleep on your side, not your back the weight of the baby will put all the pressure on you lungs. you can go out to buy these pregnancy book What To Expect When Your Expecting andThe Baby Book: Everything You Need to Know About Your Baby from Birth to Age Two (Revised and Updated Edition). it give you alot of info. i hope it helps. good luck and god bless.

Answer 6

Yes, just wait until baby gets bigger, then it gets really hard to breath. You'll have to find awkward ways to tie your shoes and sit in a chair.

Hang in there, you and the baby will be fine. It's just a normal part of pregnancy.

Answer 7

yes, i experienced difficulty breathing and even fainted twice. for myself... i realized that it was heat and steam related. the first time that i fainted i was in the shower. subsequently other times where i fell short of breath, dizzy, or was about to faint.... I was generally outside or in a very warm area. it is completely normal My advice, try to always keep an ice cold bottle of water near you. it really helped me.

Answer 8

I know this sounds strange, but you could be anemic.
