In mid pregnancy, fetal development gradually stabilizes, but pregnant women still need to take good care of themselves in all aspects. Some pregnant women may experience difficulty breathing, especially when sleeping at night, which often leads to a decrease in sleep quality and is extremely detrimental to fetal health. So, what should be done if there is sudden difficulty breathing in mid pregnancy?
Sudden difficulty breathing in mid pregnancy may be due to low blood pressure, which is common during pregnancy because the fetus has a high demand for substances. Sometimes, if not replenished in time, it can lead to hypoglycemia. Therefore, for these types of pregnant women, they can usually keep some candy in their bags. When they feel low blood pressure, they can replenish it in time to relieve symptoms.
In mid pregnancy, as the fetus gradually grows, there is some pressure on the lungs, so pregnant women may feel chest tightness and difficulty breathing, which is more obvious when lying down. This situation is quite normal, and pregnant women should pay attention to adjusting their mentality and maintaining a good mentality. When lying down and resting, it is best to adopt a left lateral position, which is conducive to fetal development.
When pregnant women feel difficulty breathing, they should reduce their activities and find a place to sit and rest to avoid adverse consequences. In mid pregnancy, pregnant women may still experience edema. At this time, it is necessary to reduce sugar intake appropriately, eat more protein foods to avoid aggravating edema, and also eat some red bean water to eliminate water vapor in the body.
