During later stages of the pregnancy your baby presses on your diaphragm, stopping you breathing freely. This is even worse if you are expecting twins or more. It resolves a little when your baby's head engages at around 37 - 38 weeks of pregnancy. Breathlessness can also be caused because of anaemia so check with your LMC or specialist. Otherwise sit down or crouch until it passes. If breathlessness is accompanied by chest pain or swelling call your LMC or specialist immediately.

When the epidural/spinal is administered the anaesthetist will calculate the amount you need in order to achieve a full 'block'. The amount you are given is based on several few factors (your weight being just one of these). Everyone reacts slightly differently and this is normal, but this means it is difficult to ensure that they get the amount exactly right. They would rather give you too much than too little. They are hoping to achieve a 'block' up to your upper chest. See similar questions...

It is a common belief that nausea stops by the end of the first trimester. Studies have shown that some women have NVP throughout their pregnancy. If you have nausea, speak with your health care professional as soon as possible. There are safe and effective treatments available. Some studies linked the presence of NVP with having a baby girl. However the results were not conclusive. Each woman and each pregnancy is unique in terms of NVP irrespective of the sex of the baby. See similar questions...

Most women experience cramps or mild, stabbing pains during pregnancy-the result of the stretching of muscles and ligaments that support the uterus. Unless you also have fever, bleeding or other unusual symptoms, sitting or lying in a comfortable position is advised to relieve the discomfort. During pregnancy, the hormone melanin, which tints the skin, is more active than normal. Melanin causes the linea nigra, a brown line that develops on the midline of the abdomen during pregnancy.

For most women gestational diabetes disappears immediately after delivery. However, you should have your blood sugars checked after your baby is born to make sure your levels have returned to normal. Women who had gestational diabetes during one pregnancy are at greater risk of developing it in a subsequent pregnancy. It is important that you have appropriate screening tests for gestational diabetes during future pregnancies as early as the first trimester. See similar questions...

Yes, you may, unless you have been directed by your physician not to (example; high risk for premature delivery). You should not start any new demanding exercises you were not doing prior to pregnancy. Your pulse rate should not go above 150 beats per minute and you should stay well hydrated. The activity should be low impact. A good rule of thumb is that you should be able to carry on a conversation while performing the exercise. Walking and swimming are good options.
