My lungs feel crushed :(

[laila 44]

I don't understand. Not even 20 weeks yet and I feel like my belly is crushing my lungs. I can't breathe if I eat too much! I just don't get it. I'm so huge and uncomfortable already wtf am I gonna do for another 20 weeks! My belly is soooo big and I'm not a big girl at all. I look no joke 6-7 months. Just venting I feel as though I can't breathe sometimes I'm so stuck.

I think you may carry high. If one carries low the bladder is more likely to have a problem like in my case .
Once the baby drops your lungs should feel a lot better. Until then I heard it is best to sit up straight and do frequent stretches where you reach up with your arms.
Sometimes discomfort also simply vanishes. My ribs hurt a bit early in the second trimester but haven't at all since.

You are totally right! I just remember my dr said a few weeks ago that baby is really really high! That explains it. I feel her in my stomach I'll try those stretches I'm super uncomfortable

Unfortunately i feel the same.
Everything this pregnancy has seemed to happen earlier than all my others. I have asthma as well so it makes it worse.
Currently sitting at pathology having 2 hour GD test and the chairs are so freaking uncomfortable! I just want to lay down on the floor and sleep lol

Isn't that the worst?! I find if I sit too long I feel crushed! I need to stretch out I feel as though baby is literally in my stomach

Got the same feeling, yet I know baby is pretty low. Belly is low & feel movement everywhere but stops around the belly button height. I think he might be checking things out sideways. Never the less, I have to really make an effort to stretch my torso as sitting affects my breathing. It's very annoying & no position is really comfi. Getting near the third trimester now, but don't remember being this uncomfi with my first.

This is my third and I definitely feel more uncomfortable than I did at this stage with my others. It doesn't help that Christmas has just happened - definitely got a thicker fat layer! I'm off to buy a bigger bra this afternoon - mine are starting to feel like a corset...

Maybe the baby is also in a bad position on top of being high! I am doing excercise for ideal positioning now and the Yoga stretches Cow, Cat and Child Position are supposed to help get the baby in a head down, feet towards the back position. Hoping ut'll help my bladder .
