I can't breathe

at all. It's REALLY annoying. I feel like I'm constantly gasping for air, like a fish out of water. I don't know if I'm just being a baby (usually am) or if it's worse because I have asthma (no wheezing, though) or because I have giant babies or what, but this sucks. It's scary sometimes. I talked to my doctor about it and she said that it's only going to get worse and it's normal. It just took me about an hour to vaccuum one room because I kept having to sit down and catch my breath.

What can I do?!

Lol, sounds like you're doing it! I can't breathe either & it's frustrating as hell to go from one end of the house to the other & need a BREAK! so stupid! but hey, sitting down & experiencing that annoying hot-blood-light-headed recoop moment is the only thing that fixes it, in my experience. Drinking loads of water in the morning seems to stave it some. OMG walking in the grocery store is becoming such a B also, sex too, for sheer lack of friggin OXYGEN! lol and i CANNOT believe she still has a month of growing, blows my mind. Well good luck w your prego'ness, this too will pass ; )

 It will get easier...at least that is what I was told...it did a little for me. My little girl has dropped so instead of not breathing well, now it feels like she's just gonna fall out. A lot of pressure down there, sometimes so much that I can't walk. For me, since I am so small (4'9" and 85 lbs before I got pregnant) I am not having a very big baby, but she feels big to me. It's hard for me to walk too, between losing my breath and all the pressure. Hang in there!
