What to do if you have chest pain during pregnancy

Generally, the endocrine system of pregnant women will change during pregnancy. If you ensure adequate sleep, the condition will naturally improve after 3 months of pregnancy. The increase in hormones during pregnancy, especially progesterone, can directly affect your lungs and stimulate the respiratory center in your brain. Also, during pregnancy, you need more oxygen, which can cause shortness of breath.

Later in pregnancy, you may find it harder to breathe because your growing uterus puts pressure on your diaphragm, especially if your baby is high in the womb or you're carrying more than one baby. In the weeks before labor, as your baby settles into your pelvis, you may notice a decrease in your shallow breathing, especially if this is your first baby. This condition is usually harmless and normal. But in your daily life, you can slow down the pace and don't push yourself too hard when you are moving or exercising. Keep your torso straight, shoulders back, and lungs as wide as possible.
