Anyone else having trouble with breathing?  

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
I am up at 1:30 right now because when I'm lying down in bed, I can't breathe. I am all wheezy and my chest is sore from having to breathe in so hard to get air. I have had a friend tell me it sounds like asthma but I've never had it before. My allergies always get worse during pregnancy but I don't know what this is. I've been sleeping with a humidifier to help with it though tonight I kind of think it's adding to the problem since I'm breathing a little better now in the other room, still wheezing . Anyway, anyone else with a similar problem? How do you cope with it?

Wheezing is a sign of allergies/ asthma/ respiratory virus. You should get checked out by a dr, because those things can be serious. Shortness of breath and difficulty drawing in a deep breath (without wheezing) can be a sign of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).

You should see a Dr.

I am asthmatic and I take allergy and asthma meds, when you breath better the baby breathes better.
