Breech still - Hard time breathing or no????????

Did anyone else that had or has a breech baby have really bad shortness of breath????? OMG I can hardly breath sometimes. My dr said it might be cause im 4"11 and since my torso is so short the baby has no where to go and is sitting up against my diaphram....Im so uncomfortable.

Signed,
Can Hardly Breathe!!!!!!!!!

Re: Breech still - Hard time breathing or no????????

When Ed-lie was breech, I had MAJOR shortness of breath. Ed-lie is no longer breech and I STILL have MAJOR shortness of breath and I am 5 ft 8. First time Moms at this stage (getting closer to delivery) may experience what is called "lightning" or when the baby starts to drop. At that point, in theory, it should be easier to breathe as your organs are not as compressed. That being said, I lose my breath just typing so I havent had my lightning yet.

Im so not glad we are going through this but I am so glad I am not the only one. I thought there was something majorly wrong with me or something LOL Now I can't wait for him to drop! Cmon baby!

yes.. i have a hard time breathing.. i was told the same thing by my doctor, when i called in to complain about shortness of breath and heart palpitations.. he recommended lying down on my side for a while and it helped..

unfortuately for me (my little one has not turned) she has gotten bigger and even more pressure now.. i am 38weeks and 4 days and having heart burn ALL over again. her head is pressed up into my ribcage and her feet are pressed down into my pelvis..
