Hi I am 36 weeks pregnant with my 3rd LO and For the past few days, I have been extremely short of breath, for no reason. At first I thought maybe I was just full or had eaten too much or too fast, but last night, I was laying in bed with my husband and we were watching a show, when I got really short of breath, and my stomach got upset. I got really dizzy and my vision got a little blurry, but it went away on its own. I have been short of breath throughout today, and I noticed it is when I am walking, sitting, or laying down, but MOSTLY when Im laying down. I prop myself up and try sitting up, but it seems nothing works, and it comes and goes on its own. My 1st son was born @ 35 weeks dues to pre-e and I know that shortness of breath could be an indicator, but my BP has been nearly perfect at every appt. Am I experiencing the normal pregnancy woes, or is this something to worry about?

I have learned that it never hurts to call and ask your doctor. If it is something that is concerning you enough to reach out and ask about then you should reach out and ask your doctor. Just my suggestion because that is nothing I have experienced. I wouldn't think it was anything too serious but then again I am not a doctor :)
