I'm 22+1 and since Wednesday have had weezing and tightness in my chest. Went to a&e where they gave me a total of 5 nebulisers. But the tightness in the chest is still there. I've been to my maternity triage last night all tests came clear (ECG, X-ray, bloods) baby is fine.

But I'm abit worried why im having this tightness for the past couple of days.

Anyone else experience this??? If so, what was u told?

Thanks

what is baby's position.
baby is quite big at this stage and high up, so affcting the diaphragm.

If you're like me this will become the norm. I needed antibiotics after a cold went to my chest at christmas, as it always does for us asthmatics, and although the wheeze eased I wouldn't say my breathing has been easier. Since then I've learned to recognise when I feel actually wheezy and when I just can't expand my lungs properly because the baby is stopping my diaphragm from fully expanding my lungs. It means I'm always out of puff which isn't fun. At the time of the infection I was advised to double up on my preventative inhaler (brown one) rather than overuse my blue one so might be worth asking your go about that if you're worried.
Not sure whether my tired ramblings have helped!
