Shortness of breath

Hi mummies, I’m a first-time mummy currently 33 weeks pregnant and looking for some advice. Lately, I’ve been experiencing shortness of breath along with a feeling of mucus or phlegm clogging my airways. It’s really hard to clear and makes me feel uncomfortable, especially when I’m walking or trying to concentrate at work. My nose also feels quite stuffy. Has anyone else experienced this in late pregnancy? Is it safe to use a nasal rinse or saline spray to relieve this kind of congestion? I’m considering asking my OBGYN, but I’d love to hear if others have gone through the same and what helped you feel better.

Me too. I was also easily out of breath, especially during my 3rd trimester. Even when i am just walking or eating. I just try to do things slow and rest more. Also keep the surroundings cool. I also had acid reflux. It made me feel like something is always in my throat and affected my sleep. So I avoid spicy foods and sometimes I take tums (I checked with my gynae before, so do check with yours).
