Clostraphobic

[whatwillbex]

I think thats how its spelt lol. This is a bit weird but I already have a decent bump and pretty sure its bigger than it should be for 15/16weeks.
For the past few weeks I keep getting this clostraphobic feeling within myself like I cant breath. It happens when I sit in certain positions and my tummy feels like its under my chin. I have to quickly change position as it freaks me out a bit and feel like im suffercating inside. Bit worried about as I get even bigger. Im more all up front with this little one. With dd I was more rounded so I cant remember feeling like this. Anyone else? X

I had a big bump by 16 weeks (I was also all to the front, I'd say I could have passed for about 7 months) and I used to get that too. It's basically because all your organs have moved up. It isn't nice but it isn't anything to worry about, just move position.

I wouldn't say I get clostraphobic but I definitely feel like all the air is being pushed out of my lungs if I sit or lay in a certain position? I'll be happily breathing away and then move and suddenly have no air! Happens most commonly if I curl my knees up. I get the exact same sensation with every Braxton Hicks. It's like someone is squeezing my chest and I can't breathe! I think it's fairly normal, baby is squashing everything in there! So long as it passes when you move position, I wouldn't worry. If you move and you still feel like you can't breathe for a extended period of time, def go get a quick check with your doctor! Could be a chest infection or something. But probably not, mostly likely just squashed organs!

Thanks, mystery solved turns out I have a cold hence the not breathing and feeling more intense than normal and I think the baby has had a growth spurt too. Thanks girlies for taking the time to respond xx
