I am 7 months pregnant now, today. Is this normal? I started feeling short of breath and unable to catch my breath.Doctor's answer:
Generally, it is recommended that you undergo an electrocardiogram (ECG) and fetal heart monitoring, as your symptoms suggest signs of insufficient blood supply to the heart or hypoxia. Additionally, your condition may affect the blood supply and oxygenation of the fetus. It is advisable to determine the treatment method after the examination (usually, oxygen therapy is recommended).Generally, doctors will advise women with risk factors during prenatal examinations to rest in bed and avoid sexual activity. Additionally, patients should pay attention to creating a comfortable environment, which is beneficial for rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
