[Week 31 Mother] Im easily out of breath.
Your uterus may be slightly above your belly button, which means it's pushing on all of your internal organs, even your diaphragm and lungs so that you may feel short of breath easily. But during this time, your appetite increases and your activity level decreases, which can lead to rapid weight gain.
Excessive weight gain can increase the risk of pregnancy-related complications, so it's best to keep it under control through exercise and diet, as long as you don't stress about it.
The more water you drink, the better: it moisturizes dry skin and relieves itchy symptoms, prevents headaches and fatigue caused by lack of hydration, and reduces the feeling of heat in the body that can occur due to high energy metabolism.
Don't let the need to urinate bother you. If you hold your urine for a long time, bacteria can multiply and lead to infection. Don't force yourself to hold it and drink plenty of water~.
