I Can't -Gasp- Breathe!

I love my DC, I really do, but right now he is taking up too much of the space formerly devoted to my lungs. I am really having trouble taking deep breaths, and get soooo puffy walking up stairs.

Yesterday I had to speak to a group in a large room, and I sounded like I was hyperventilating! Afterwards, a couple of my coworkers asked if I was okay. Very embarassing--projecting my voice and speaking in public usually isn't a problem for me.

Anyone else feeling breathless lately?

I get like that. When I talk too fast I get out of breath. It's hard when you have a job that requires alot of talking. At night it's worse, and this humidity doesn't help either.

Yes,sometimes I feel like i'm having a panic attack,it gets so bad. i've kind of dropped so its gottan better. I love being pregnant,don't get me wrong,but not being able to breath is the one thing I won't miss. Take care and good luck.

I've been having the same problem on and off for a few weeks.

Re: I Can't -Gasp- Breathe!

I've been having slight breathlessness for awhile now, but this was really bad. I had one other large presentation coming up in early November, but I have asked one of my coworkers to help with this so I don't have to talk as much.

Someone mentioned sitting down might help, so maybe I'll try that for the large presentation. It's in a somewhat informal setting, so I think I can do it.
