Not to laugh at me while pregnant! She finds great joy at laughing at how I breathe – for example, several times a night my breath comes out in a loud sigh, and it’s really just me trying to open my chest and move air through the legs jammed up my ribs. So while I am 7 months pregnant with our child…breathing as best as I can…she is sitting on the couch laughing at me.
Nice. Good thing the hormones are on a bit of a hiatus or else it could get ugly here!

I am right there with you. I’m 34 weeks and cannot breathe literally to save m own life! I get winded sitting up, leaning back, standing, doing nothing, you name it. Probably doesn’t help that there is a fetal butt wedged under my right boob. ::hugs:: to you. Breathe as deeply as you can and need to!

Oh my God girls- I am in the same boat! I am also 34 weeks and gasping for air! Sleeping has not been fun for myself or my wife… She is ready to throw my snoogle body pillow off of a bridge because she doesn’t like having a “third person” in the bed, but she also doesn’t want me to be close to her because I breathe on her neck all night long. Aparently I snore now too ( a combo of pregnancy stuffy nose and the inability to breathe) and occassionally I will make a really loud and hardly graceful snorting noise that jolts us both awake… SHEESH!

Someone forgot to tell me how amusing very pregnant wives are.
I laugh with love.

LOL! I made fun of my wife too when she got short on breath or just sounded like a football player when she breathed.
I thoroughly enjoyed making fun of my wife when she turned into a big snorer when pregnant. I don’t know when it happened. Maybe near the end. But I would giggle 1/2 the night before it turned from cute to annoying. She snored the LOUDEST the night before he was born. I actually slept in the spare room that night.
I’m sure it’ll bite me in the butt some day but it was my way of telling her I was experiencing these moments as well. Not to the same extent, of course.
