You’re probably feeling quite breathless at the moment and this sensation will probably stay with you during your pregnancy until your baby drops down into your pelvis. This usually happens at around 36 weeks for first-time mums and not until delivery if you’ve given birth before.
Your uterus is so large that it’s pressing up against your diaphragm (which is the muscle that usually controls your breathing) so there’s not much room for lots of air. You can help yourself by relaxing which means rest, rest and more rest!Shortness of breath can also be a sign of anaemia so it’s best to get this checked out to make sure you’re fine.
Did You Know?
Until now your baby has been covered in tiny hairs called lanugo, which help to keep them warm before they’ve put on enough fat. It’s around this week that it begins to disappear.
