Gasping for air...sleep apnea or???

I did this when I took a nap yesterday. I woke up choking and gasping for air. Scared me!

I don't have any answers but happens to me a lot especially if I'm sleeping on my back.

Ok so it may be pregnancy related. I did it twice last night and even my hubby was alarmed when I tried to catch my breath. I was not laying on my back. I'll have to check with the doctor. I wonder if it's from me gaining a lot of weight this pregnancy....have either of you gained a significant amount of weight this pregnancy?

???? poor hubby said especially the last few nights have been terrible to the point where I'm waking him with my snoring and I'm doing the same thing in a dead sleep then waking up gasping. My sinuses have also been the worst right now. I am still pregnant. And as of right now this pregnancy I've gained the most weight between the three and at a rapid pace. You'll have to post if you ask your dr

Same thing happening to me all 3rd trimester. Dr just said bc baby is taking up more room and pushing on organs. It sucks but just part of it! Im in week 39 and its not as bad now that he's lower.

I'm still having it happen and I'm not prego anymore-so strange. Maybe I have sleep apnea from extra weight gain.

I noticed this too! Seems to have gone away now my baby is 2 weeks old. I'd be dropping off then wake up snorting like I'd forgotten to take a breath in my sleep or something lol

Omg I have almost the same thing. It started in my pregnancy, and I continue to have it. I started getting super anxious about it the other day. I figured it was from gaining weight. It seems to be a little bit better now that I've lost 20lbs (yay breastfeeding!)

I gained over 50lbs and I'm losing it slowly! It might have to do with weight gain, I asked my mom and she said she has always had it happen plus major snoring until she recently lost 70lbs!
