Anyone feel like they can't breathe after eating?

[laila 44]

My new thing is I feel like passing out after I eat! Seriously it's like my belly gets so full and so big that I can't seem to catch my breath and feel like I'm missing air. It's sooo much worse if I over eat I feel very short of breath and generally dizzy and not well! Anyone else? My belly feels so full after eating that it looks and feels like its gonna explode

Yup! I have to eat lots of little things rather than meals, then lie down if I can. Am currently eating garlic bread with cheese lay down

K so it's not just me then?! It's not a fun feeling.. It's like I'm drowning. Maybe I should try smaller meals too...

 

[jojo_b]

Yeh I feel like that too. Like there's just not enough air, or someone is sat on my chest. Scary, horrid feeling xx

I started to get that feeling and started eating smaller meals. I also can't drink a lot of water at once or I feel like my entire physical stomach is oozing up into my throat!

I did read online - it's recommended that you eat 6 smaller meals throughout the day rather than 3 regular sized ones.

There are some days when I just have trouble breathing all day long. I also have trouble quite often when I try to lie on my back because baby is resting on the bottom of my lungs.

you're so not alone. I try to eat like a kitten, a couple bites and that's it. Otherwise it's either I can't breathe or I have the worst heartburn. Waiting for baby to drop already..

same here, but I have been constipated for 3 days now which is making me feel worse, ballooned out and so much pressure, nowhere to breath or digest :S

Yes! and I hate it.. I try and just eat like half of a meal and then a snack an hour or two later etc. but sometimes Im so hungry I over eat and then I feel like crap and I can't lay down because it rises in my throat So crummy.
