Difficulty in breathing during the 6th month of pregnancy can be common due to the growing uterus pushing against your diaphragm, especially when you're lying down or after meals. Hormonal changes (like increased progesterone) can also make you feel short of breath.
However, if your breathing is very uncomfortable, happens even at rest, worsens over time, or is accompanied by chest pain, palpitations, swelling in legs, or dizziness, it could indicate a more serious issue like:
Anemia High blood pressure or preeclampsia Lung or heart conditions
Here's what you can do:
Sit or sleep in a slightly propped-up position. Take slow, deep breaths and avoid heavy meals. Wear loose, comfortable clothing. Take frequent breaks and avoid overexertion.
But most importantly, please contact your doctor or visit a hospital as soon as possible to rule out any serious cause and get relief. Let me know if you have any other symptoms like swelling, palpitations, or fatigue.
