![[BREATHLESSNESS during PREGNANCY] 😩
Many women say to me ..."now that I am pregnant I feel so unfit - I can hardly catch my breath, just walking up a flight of stairs"
Sound familar ?? 🤰🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don't fear if you are a regular exerciser. Being pregnant does not mean that your fitness levels have suddenly vanished.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌸There are a few factors that cause #pregnancy BREATHLESSNESS :
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
+The pregnancy hormone progesterone is thought to be a main culprit as it changes the way your body absorbs oxygen.
+ While pregnant your blood vessels expand and blood volume also increases - making your heart work harder which can cause breathlessness
+ Towards the third trimester, when your uterus has grown enough to push on your diaphragm, this may also cause you to feel breathless, simply as your diaphragm does not have the space to expand and take a full breath.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Practising #CORE BREATH or lengthening your breath slowly can help overcome this feeling plus is a great practice for labour and secretly activates your core from the inside !
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you are however finding it hard too catch your breath and you are feeling light headed, dizzy and have a rapid feeble pulse please see a medical practitioner immediately.
