What to do if you have difficulty breathing at 35 weeks of pregnancy

The 35th week of pregnancy is considered the late stage of pregnancy. Soon, the parents will meet the baby, and the atmosphere in the whole family will be anxious and happy. In the later stages of pregnancy, the mother's body becomes heavier and it becomes more and more difficult for her to move. So, what should I do if I have difficulty breathing at 35 weeks of pregnancy?

Shortness of breath is more common in pregnant women in the late stages of pregnancy. In the late pregnancy, the uterus continues to expand, and the expanded uterus pushes the diaphragm upward, causing the chest cavity to shrink and the pressure on the diaphragm to increase, thus affecting the activity of the heart and lungs; the fetus continues to grow, and the excess air coefficient in the body increases, which prompts the pregnant woman to have to speed up her breathing. At this time, the pregnant mother will choose short and shallow breathing to increase the amount of CO2 inhaled into the lungs, so she will feel shortness of breath.

What should a pregnant mother do if she feels anxious and short of breath?

1. Replenish electrolyte solution and vitamin B26. In the early stages of pregnancy, pregnant women are prone to severe morning sickness. At this time, they should replenish electrolyte fluids appropriately to prevent dehydration. Sometimes they can also take vitamin B26 to slightly alleviate the discomfort. Of course, you also need to get enough rest to allow your heart to adjust and reduce the condition of shortness of breath.

2. Increase protein intake. Generally speaking, the optimal weight gain during pregnancy is 12-15KG. Gaining too much weight will always cause pressure on the pregnant mother's heart, compression of the spine and pressure on the circulatory system. It is recommended that pregnant mothers reduce their sugar intake and increase their protein intake, so that they will not easily gain weight or suffer from edema. In addition, you can also try to use red bean water to remove moisture from your body, which is also a very good way.

3. Reduce the amount of exercise. When it comes to around 30 weeks of pregnancy, pregnant mothers will encounter psychological shortness of breath again. The only solution at this time is to reduce exercise to allow the body to adapt. After a few weeks of wheezing, the condition gradually improves, but then you will have to face labor pains that stimulate the heart, causing increased heart pressure and the wheezing condition will reappear.

Warm reminder: It is normal to feel anxious and short of breath when sleeping on the left side during the 35th week of pregnancy, and pregnant mothers don’t need to worry too much. Pregnant mothers in the late stages of pregnancy are in need of the most care and companionship. Fathers should stay with their mothers more during this time and go through the difficult times with them.
