Pregnant woman asthma

Introduction In the second trimester of pregnancy, some women may experience asthma during pregnancy, which is multi-faceted. This cause of difficulty in breathing is often caused by an increase in the size of the uterus. This kind of difficulty in breathing is often caused by an increase in the size of the uterus, which pushes up the abdominal diaphragm muscles, thereby reducing the volume of the thorax, causing shortness of breath and suffocation. However, once the fetus falls and enters the pelvis, this feeling disappears.

Cause

This kind of difficulty in breathing is often caused by an increase in the size of the uterus, which pushes up the abdominal diaphragm muscles, thereby reducing the volume of the thorax, causing shortness of breath and suffocation. However, once the fetus falls and enters the pelvis, this feeling disappears.

During pregnancy, you need to breathe more oxygen, and your body will adjust accordingly to meet your oxygen needs. An increase in hormones during pregnancy, especially the increase in progesterone (also known as "progesterone"), can directly affect your lungs and stimulate the respiratory center of your brain. In the later stages of pregnancy, because the enlarged uterus exerts pressure on the diaphragm, you will feel more difficult to breathe, and the shortness of breath is more pronounced, especially if the fetal position is higher, or if you are pregnant with multiple births.

Mothers supply fetal oxygen and nutrients through the placenta and blood. If asthma occurs, bronchoconstriction will reduce the oxygen content in the blood. The blood flowing through the placenta will be reduced, which may have an impact on fetal development.

Pregnant women with chest tightness and shortness of breath, may have chest tightness and shortness of breath after pregnancy, feeling uncomfortable and uncomfortable. It is a normal phenomenon to rule out the heart problem.
