Well its almost like feeling like your STUFFED after a big meal, when you havent even eaten
Thats the way I describe it

and when you are further along, and when you DO eat, you get full so much faster with so much less food, because there is so much less room in that belly for your food!

Dont worry, everything works out!

In like month 6 and 7, I noticed that everything just starts to feel 'high' or 'full' - the breathing tends to get shorter - especially when active. It's not like you are gasping for air though - but you dont' get that nice satisfying deep breath.

That's why I was so excited yesterday to find that I was breathing with such deep ease. It feels great. Of course, being countered by the feeling of a ton of cement in my pelvis but hey....who's complaining!?

Just this week I started feeling like I coldn't take a deep breath. Expecially if I am bending forward or eating. It's a strange feeling like baby is all the way up into my chest.

I have asthma-- and I was worried about that too -- since I start to panic when I feel like I cant breathe-- But it was not that bad... I just felt ' stuffed' like everyone else said. It was the worst at night when I was laying down. But not so bad that I felt panicked!
