Breathlessness

When I have difficulty breathing, does my baby get enough oxygen

Women actually allow more oxygen into their systems and even use it more efficiently, during pregnancy. But because the growing uterus is crowding the lungs, you feel a shortness of breath. Two or three weeks before delivery, when the foetus settles into the pelvis ("lightening" or "dropping"), you would be able to breathe more easily. Until then, sleep in a semi-propped position and avoid slumping while sitting. Rest as much as you can. Your baby is absolutely fine. However, if your shortness of breath is severe, do consult your doctor.
