Becoming a expectant mother is a very happy thing, but it also brings a lot of discomfort to expectant mothers. Many expectant mothers often feel this way, even if they make slight movements during pregnancy, they will be exhausted and gasping for breath, which is commonly known as panic and shortness of breath. So, what are the reasons for late pregnancy palpitations?
In late pregnancy, as the fetus continues to grow, the uterine cavity expands and the heart is squeezed to the upper left by the swollen uterus. The weight of the expectant mother also increases significantly, and her metabolism becomes more active, which puts more pressure on the heart. Therefore, in order for the heart to handle these additional increases, it needs to increase its heart rate and heart rate. Of course, a more active heart also means that more oxygen supply is needed, and the ventilation volume of the lungs needs to increase. The frequency of oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange accelerates, and expectant mothers show symptoms of palpitations and shortness of breath.
The expectant mother's uterus continues to enlarge and she experiences difficulty breathing. If expectant mothers have problems with palpitations and shortness of breath, chest breathing can be used to relieve them. The operation method is as follows: first, stand up slowly, learn to take a breath, and then slowly exhale, making sure that the air in the abdomen is less than that in the chest. Expectant mothers can place their hands on the chest to feel the breathing area.
Expectant mothers may experience palpitations and shortness of breath for a short period of time. Sitting quietly, resting for a while, or lying quietly on their side for a while can also alleviate the symptoms of palpitations and shortness of breath. It is important to avoid lying down, as this can easily lead to low blood pressure and worsen the problem of palpitations and shortness of breath.
