Rachaels: my GP gave me a saline nasal spray with budesonide in it. It completely unblocked my nose.]]> Thu, 05 Aug 2010 15:04:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35091&PID=1119127&title=does-this-sound-pregnancy-related#1119127 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35091&PID=1119119&title=does-this-sound-pregnancy-related#1119119 Author: newme

Are you sleeping on your back? If so the weight of the baby can squash your lungs and make it hard to breathe. I would def talk it over with your midwife though.]]> Thu, 05 Aug 2010 15:00:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35091&PID=1119119&title=does-this-sound-pregnancy-related#1119119 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35091&PID=1119057&title=does-this-sound-pregnancy-related#1119057 Author: mothermercury

You might not normally snore, but I think pregnancy does a lot of weird things to you like that. A lot of people have told me they snored like tractors when they were pregnant! Not sure if I do - my husband wouldn't woke up if a train came barrelling through the house.

It sounds a lot like sleep apnoea - definitely mention it to your midwife, you don't want to be oxygen-deprived!]]> Thu, 05 Aug 2010 14:09:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35091&PID=1119057&title=does-this-sound-pregnancy-related#1119057 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35091&PID=1118914&title=does-this-sound-pregnancy-related#1118914 Author: rachaels

Wow it does sound like sleep apnoea! Thanks for that link! As far as I know I don't snore, never have - but DP is no help because he snores like a hibernating bear and never wakes during the night so can't tell me if I've started.

I doubt it would be anxiety, I've been very calm of late (if you discount the hormonal mood swings)

I had better mention it to the MW!]]> Thu, 05 Aug 2010 11:59:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35091&PID=1118914&title=does-this-sound-pregnancy-related#1118914 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35091&PID=1118906&title=does-this-sound-pregnancy-related#1118906 Author: Mrs_B

I'm no expert so will just throw a couple of ideas out there....

Sleep apnoea

or maybe anxiety?? but perhaps not if you were asleep when it happened. ]]> Thu, 05 Aug 2010 11:52:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35091&PID=1118906&title=does-this-sound-pregnancy-related#1118906 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35091&PID=1118892&title=does-this-sound-pregnancy-related#1118892 Author: rachaels

I have had a really awful night, just what I need when I'm this busy at work!

4 times last night when I fell asleep after eventually getting comfortable (SPD doesn't make for good sleeping) I stopped breathing. It felt as though my throat closed up and as I had a stuffy nose I couldn't breathe through there either. I would try to draw in breath to cough to clear my throat but couldn't - my airway was just completely closed.

As soon as I kinda woke up enough to register it and sat up, the airway re-opened and I would start gasping for air and my heart was pounding really hard and fast like I'd had a big fright.

By the third time it happened I was getting scared to go back to sleep! Theoretically I know if I stop breathing I should just automatically wake up again but I'm a bit worried that I just won't wake and suffocate in my sleep!

I haven't been sick lately and have never experienced anything like this. Does it sound pregnancy related? I've been getting very breathless lately but this isn't breathlessness!]]> Thu, 05 Aug 2010 11:39:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35091&PID=1118892&title=does-this-sound-pregnancy-related#1118892
