Stopped breathing/woke up choking

Hi all, I'm 38 weeks today and for the 3rd time in a matter of weeks, I woke up choking from a nap earlier. I was sleeping on my side, not my back, I just remember waking up, gasping for breath and my whole body forcing me to choke to clear my airways.

It really scared me.

Anyone else had this?!

Not had it but sounds scary! Which side were you sleeping on? There's something about sleeping on your left I think? Mention it to your midwife and hope you feel better soon.

I was on my left. I have been getting heartburn recently but not today. Not sure if that might be relevant. May have to sleep sitting up tonight!

Yes to heartburn/reflux I think. Have you been taking anything?
