ok sooooo sometimes I feel out of breath even if I'm not doing anything .... I think I have a slight…

Do you have a rescue inhaler @optimommy

no what is that? @hueysmommy12

It's an inhaler lol. But shortness of breath is a common thing for most pregnant women. I get out of breath but I use my inhaler but sometimes it won't work

lol I know it's a inhaler . I guess I meant can I just request it ..or is it only for people with asthma @allaboutmaximus

@optimommy, you can actually talk to your doctor in getting one. Some doctors do that.

cool I have an appt Thursday so I'll ask then @allaboutmaximus

Yes you should be able to but I don't think your ob would give you one you'd have to see your doctor doctor at least that's what happen in my case my doctor doctor had to prescribe me one cause my Obgyn couldn't ... @optimommy & your shortness of breath is coming from baby being on your lungs as it continues to grow && also lack of exercise .. At least that's why I have my shortness of breath ..

ugh all these doc appts lol...ok I contact my regular doctor...I'm due for a physical anyway...@hueysmommy12, ....well I walk a lot since I live in NYC but I don't exercise...

It might be normal because as the baby grows, it pushes against your lungs so they actually can't fully inflate and deflate. Also, if you exercise regularly, it should happen less. Just simple stretches or yoga

thanks @tracynangel

Yeah so when you go for your physical just let them know you've been having shortness of breath && if they could prescribe you a rescue inhaler .. Let them know the obvious that your pregnant it shouldn't be a problem .. @optimommy

drink water, call your doctor tell them you need a rescue inhaler that s what I did
