Pregnant women must be prepared to face various risks and accidents.

What should be the cause of the problem?

Difficulty breathing during pregnancy may be caused by the following reasons:

1. First of all, you should consider whether you have tracheal or bronchial inflammation. Inflammation can also cause narrowing of the airways and make breathing difficult. You can go to the hospital for a respiratory tract radiography to rule out tracheal stenosis, pleurisy and other symptoms. If there is no problem, you don't have to worry too much. You can observe for a few days and take some anti-inflammatory drugs for the symptoms. Generally, there will be improvement.

2. You need to be alert to symptoms caused by respiratory obstruction and respiratory inflammation. You need to be especially alert to changes in the patient's condition caused by poor oxygenation function due to decreased lung function. It is recommended that you go to the hospital's respiratory department for a physical examination. After a confirmed diagnosis, you can be given anti-inflammatory drugs.

3. There is a possibility of suffering from asthma. When you go to the doctor, the doctor will generally check the cause of the asthma and give the patient medicine to calm the asthma when it recurs. Check carefully to see if your asthma is caused by something you have come into contact with or eaten. Once you find out, you can avoid it.

2. Keep your upper body straight, shoulders back, and lungs expanded as much as possible. Keep your back straight when standing or sitting. Using a few more pillows to raise your body when sleeping at night may make pregnant women feel better.

3. In hot and humid seasons, try not to stay in places with poor air circulation for too long, as you will feel difficulty breathing and suffocation. You should avoid crowded public places and go outside more often to breathe fresh air. If you feel uncomfortable when lying on your back, you can raise the pillow and lie in a half-position or side-lying position.

Pregnant women often feel shortness of breath and sometimes even feel suffocated. This is normal. This may happen in the second trimester of pregnancy as the enlarged uterus presses on the stomach. Pregnant women are required to rest more and get enough sleep, avoid doing strenuous work, and avoid overwork.

After the 28th week of pregnancy, as the pregnant woman's weight continues to increase, it becomes increasingly inconvenient for her to move. Since her heart and lungs are under a double burden during pregnancy, she must absolutely avoid excessive fatigue and strenuous exercise.

The cause of this breathing difficulty is often due to the increase in the size of the uterus, which presses upward on the abdominal diaphragm, thereby reducing the volume of the chest cavity, causing pregnant women to become short of breath and feel suffocated.
