I'm 30 weeks and been in A&E last week with severe shortness of breath and fatigue. Had ECG, chest X-ray and blood tests which were all fine. Baby is fine too.
Diagnosis is that my big, breech baby is pressing on my diaphragm and compressing my lungs. Not dangerous but really uncomfortable and tiring. I've got no chest pain but no matter how deeply I breathe I feel like I'm not getting enough air.
I've tried moving about as much as I can as I'm hoping he might turn and that'll reduce some of the pressure. Everything is so tiring though.
I'm worried this is just going to get worse as he grows bigger. I've got a growth scan on 27th and I guess my consultant will decide if they need to induce me a bit early.
Has anyone else suffered this?
Fed up.
