There are many changes to your body during pregnancy. Just imagine, your stomach can be many times larger than usual. This makes you gain weight and feel very heavy when on the move. No wonder if pregnant women get tired easily after a day of doing routine. Some mothers even feel short of breath during pregnancy. Why? Want to know the reason? See the explanation below.

Quite a lot of pregnant women who experience shortness of breath

According to a study published in 2015, around 60-70% of pregnant women experience shortness of breath during pregnancy. This can occur in all conditions of pregnancy, including women with normal pregnancies.

Doctors often associate shortness of breath with the development of the uterus that continues to grow, so that it urges the lungs on it and makes it difficult for pregnant women to breathe.

Causes of shortness of breath during pregnancy?

Shortness of breath in pregnant women may not only be caused by one factor, but can be caused by various factors ranging from the uterus that continues to grow to changes in heart performance. In addition, the maternal oxygen demand that increases during pregnancy also contributes to pregnant women experiencing shortness of breath.

Shortness of breath can occur in various phases in pregnancy. There are pregnant women who have begun to feel shortness of breath starting from the first trimester, while other pregnant women just feel short of breath in the second trimester and third trimester.

Some causes of shortness of breath in pregnant women, such as:

• Uterine development. The uterus that begins to develop in the first trimester also presses the diaphragm (the muscle tissue that separates the heart and lungs with the stomach) up as high as 4 cm, so this affects the breathing of pregnant women. Pregnant women may start unable to take deep breaths in the first trimester.
• Hormonal changes during pregnancy. Changes in the hormone progesterone during pregnancy can also affect breathing, making the breathing of pregnant women faster. Progesterone directly affects the lungs and stimulates the respiratory center in the brain.
• Increased heart performance. This is because the heart must pump blood harder to drain blood throughout the body, including the placenta. The increased workload of the heart can cause pregnant women to experience shortness of breath.

Is shortness of breath during pregnancy a sign of a medical problem?

Shortness of breath is a common thing in pregnant women. This is caused by various changes that occur in the body of pregnant women.

Don't worry, this condition is safe for your prospective baby. However, severe shortness of breath can also be a symptom of a medical problem.

Medical problems that can cause shortness of breath in pregnant women, namely:

• Asthma. Pregnancy can worsen existing asthma symptoms. In addition to asthma, shortness of breath can also be exacerbated if pregnant women have anemia or high blood pressure.
• Pulmonary embolism. This occurs when a blood clot attaches to the arteries in the lungs. Emboli can directly affect breathing and cause coughing, chest pain, and shortness of breath. However, this condition is very rare.
• Peripartum cardiomyopathy. Is one type of heart failure that can occur during pregnancy or immediately after giving birth. Symptoms include swelling of the ankles, low blood pressure, fatigue, and a non-rhythmic heartbeat or heart palpitations.

Having shortness of breath during pregnancy is a normal and normal thing to happen. You don't need to worry, because some cases of shortness of breath in pregnant women are not dangerous. Even so, there is also shortness of breath which can indicate serious things.

You may feel shortness of breath in early pregnancy. Now, with increasing gestational age, shortness of breath can feel more severe because the diaphragm gets pressure from the uterus which continues to grow. However, your breathing has begun to improve a few weeks before labor, when the baby has begun to descend into the pelvis. At this time your body feels lighter.

Here are some of the causes of shortness of breath that occur when you are in two bodies:

• The lungs are compressed by the uterus.
• Your body needs more oxygen because right now it's not just your breath, your baby needs it too. This can make you feel you have to breathe a lot of air by taking a deep breath.
• The hormone progesterone can increase during pregnancy. This hormone can stimulate the respiratory center in your brain. As a result the amount of air that is inhaled and thrown away when breathing is greater than when you are not pregnant, although the frequency of breathing does not change much.
• Shortness of breath can be more severe if the baby you have is still in a high position, is pregnant with twins or has abundant amniotic fluid.

However, there is also shortness of breath that is not caused by pregnancy. Shortness of breath caused by this can indicate a serious health problem. Here's the explanation:

• If you have a history of asthma, shortness of breath during pregnancy can make the condition more severe. Likewise if you have pneumonia or wet lungs.
• Shortness of breath that occurs suddenly or gets worse can indicate a serious health problem.
• Shortness of breath can also risk becoming a serious problem if caused by pulmonary embolism. During pregnancy, the process of blood clotting in the body changes. This can increase your risk of developing a pulmonary embolism (blood clot that flows into the lungs).

You are advised to see a doctor if you experience the above and if shortness of breath is accompanied by pain in or pain when breathing, rapid pulse, heart palpitations, around the lips and fingers look blue, your face looks pale, continues to cough continuously, bleeding cough or fever, difficulty breathing when lying down, fear of not getting enough oxygen, or fainting.

How to deal with shortness of breath during pregnancy

So that you are not too short of breath, it is recommended to do something without being in a hurry, for example when walking. Don't also force yourself to do many things when you are on the move. Besides this, also do the following tips:

• A body that is not fit can make you feel short of breath. So, it is recommended to do light exercise. Remember, don't do it until you're exhausted and it's hard to talk while exercising. Oia, when you exercise your baby will also get enough oxygen, you know!
• When you are short of breath, try lifting your arms above your head. This movement can lift the ribs and make you breathe more air.
• When sitting, make sure the body is upright so that the lungs can have plenty of room for air.
• When sleeping, try to sleep with your head slightly up. For that you can add an extra pillow for the headrest.

You don't need to worry too much if you experience shortness of breath or fear your baby won't get enough oxygen. Remember, while you are not experiencing shortness of breath accompanied by disturbing symptoms, feeling difficult to breathe is normal and does not endanger your baby.
