Hi, I am 33 months pregnant, I am having problem with sleeping. Every other i feel so breathless when I go to sleep and cough alot. I can't breath for one to two hours, So whole night I have to be up and next day when I go to work, can't concentrate. I need solution. Please tell me what I can do about this. I did talk to Dr and Dr told me to take Vicks inhale steam. I did that also but still doesn't work. Please help. Hetal replied. 33months i guess and not months !!

i am not preg expert,,but i know onethingg thats its quite natural to feel uncomfortable after 26weeks and onwwards,,,sleep elevated,,tug an extra pillow below your head,,,tug a long pillow between your legs and sleep on left side...
i rem myself sleeping almst in slant sleeping position esp whenever i had heavy dinners,,,but it does help ! just 4-8weeks to go and you will out of this!!!!!!!
all this will comfort you..take your meals early or atleast 3hourrs before you sleep..take a warm glass of milk before sleep,,it will help..
all this breathlessness or short breath is often after 30weeks,,and is normal !
about cough,,its not advisable to go for ne medicines,,but 1tsp of ghee in 1big glass of boiled,,, and drinking at warm or lukewarm temp,,,will help you ease the soreness and it will comfort you..if the cough worsens,,check with your dr if at all its any virral prob...yes vaporisseers help,,instead i would recommnd you vicks warm mist humidifier,,instead of inhale system...that helped me thru out my pregnancy ,,i had dry cough, and thn later on i had viral as well,if that was not enough,,i had mucus filled cough and cold,,,and in all humidifier was a blessing for me,,,keep it next to your bed,,just below the side of bed where your head is at rest...,so i can def say that it will comfort you in all types of cold and coughs..esp if the place you are living has winter season ! rest all,,would say,,follow your dr.
good luck !
