If there is a lack of air during pregnancy, then most likely this condition is temporary, not dangerous, and it is associated precisely with " interesting position" women. Specialists call this lack of air during pregnancy physiological.
Lack of air during pregnancy causes of the event
on the calf monitor pregnant
doctor growth trimester
It is explained by the fact that the growing uterus and the embryo push apart all the internal organs that are located nearby. It also affects the bladder, intestines, stomach and lungs. The diaphragm is subjected to these unpleasant sensations in last turn, which is the only positive moment in this phenomenon.
Be that as it may, this condition can be an alarming signal: it is necessary to take tests for hemoglobin levels, as well as check the work of the heart muscle.
Causes of the disease
Consider the most likely reasons why there is not enough air during pregnancy:
- the diaphragm under the pressure of the growing uterus rises, because of this, there is less space left in the lungs for their straightening - shortness of breath occurs;
- a growing embryo needs more and more oxygen, which it takes from the bowels of the mother, which is why a woman feels a feeling of lack of air during pregnancy;
- nervous disorders, stressful situations, emotional, hormonal changes in the body of a future mother can provoke a lack of air during pregnancy in the early stages;
- due to a lack of iron, a mild form of anemia develops, so the woman is no longer able to endure the previous physical exercise, because of this, there is a feeling of lack of air during pregnancy.
It's difficult to breathe
As a rule, this condition, when there is not enough air, lasts until about 32 weeks of pregnancy. On this period the baby's head turns towards the small pelvis, while the pressure on the diaphragm and epigastric region becomes less, so the air enters better during pregnancy.
Why does it occur early
Some women complain that they do not have enough air during pregnancy already in the early stages - 6-8 weeks, when hormonal changes in the body occur.
This may be related to toxicity. Despite the fact that toxicosis in most cases is manifested by nausea, vomiting, sometimes this condition has other signs, among which are:
- heaviness, pain in the stomach;
- heartburn;
- flatulence.
Very often, literally immediately after conception, it becomes difficult for the expectant mother to breathe after eating, even if she ate a very small portion. There may be pain in the stomach, belching, heartburn.
The same symptoms occur when isolating of hydrochloric acid: its production is provided by the synthesis of growth hormone, which is intensively produced in the body of the expectant mother.
Preventive actions
Among preventive measures, which will help prevent or at least reduce the likelihood of a lack of oxygen, can be identified.
- Regular intake of drugs, which contain a sufficient amount of iron.
- Folic acid intake in moderate doses. This is most relevant for women who suffer from hemolytic disease or are malnourished.
- Regular exercise of moderate exercise.
- Keeping a balanced diet.
- Regular visits to the doctor and the delivery of the necessary tests.
- Mandatory consumption of foods such as legumes, dietary meats, nuts, fruits and juices.

Why is it hard to breathe during pregnancy
Breathing problems usually appear in the seventh month, but may well appear earlier. Such changes can be given a completely logical explanation.

- Make sure that the baby also does not suffer from a lack of oxygen, all the same hypoxia.
Videos breathing during childbirth and pregnancy
Full chest breathing
Try placing one hand on your stomach and the other directly on your chest. Try to make a full deep exhalation, and then inhale through the nose, while taking into the lungs as much air as possible. At this time, the hand that lay on your stomach should remain practically motionless. The second hand, on the contrary, should rise as much as possible, due to the fact that your breath was so deep that with it the ribs rose as much as possible, and the diaphragm also dropped. Taking a full deep breath, try to hold your breath, then slowly exhale the air through your nose.
When you have mastered this exercise, it will be possible to move on to the study of other styles and varieties of chest breathing. It can be superficial, delayed and intermittent.
shallow breathing
You need to try to breathe easily and naturally, quickly, as well as rhythmically and almost silently. Try to breathe through your mouth, while only filling the very tops of your lungs with air. At this time, let someone close put both hands on your shoulder blades and say if you feel the movement of his hands when you breathe. Try to make your breathing easier and more airy with each breath.
When performing such exercises, do not forget that only the upper sections should move. chest, and in any case not the stomach.
Make sure that the inhalations are equal to the exhalations. Try to gradually, without rushing to increase
the duration and number of superficial breaths at first from ten to thirty seconds, and by late pregnancy, the duration can be increased up to one minute. Shallow breathing simply must be rhythmic, inhalation should be followed by exhalation in two seconds. You will probably find it easier to do these exercises with your eyes closed.
Such breathing practices can also help you with strong contractions, when the cervix opens. During contractions, it is extremely important that your diaphragm, as a muscle capable of separating the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity, which must properly tighten and lower when inhaling, does not press excessively on the uterus. And therefore, the lighter and airier your shallow breathing is, the less the diaphragm will be able to go down, which is what is needed right at the moment.
Breathing delays
Try to inhale air very deeply through your nose, when you feel that this is the end of inhalation, try to hold your breath, now count to ten in your thoughts, and only then exhale sharply through your mouth. When you practice this breathing, you can try to bring your count to thirty.
It is necessary to breathe with delays at the very moment when your baby is gradually coming out.
Open your mouth, stick out your tongue, try to inhale and exhale very noisily, it will remotely resemble the breathing of a dog. The rhythm of your intermittent breathing must necessarily be somewhat rapid. You need to take approximately one inhalation and exhalation in one second. When you practice this type of breathing, try to breathe like this for only thirty seconds at first, then increase the number of breaths to forty, and later sixty times.
Interrupted breathing is extremely useful at the end of the primary period of childbirth, just when a woman wants to push. However, you need to remember that you should not do this until your baby's small head sinks down into the pelvis, as well as at the end of the second stage of labor, when you are able to see the appearance of the head.
Peritoneal breathing
Place one hand on top of your stomach, lower the other on your chest. Before starting the exercises, you need to make a full devastating exhalation. Then inhale fully through the nose, while raising the abdominal wall, thus puffing up the stomach. The hand that was lying on the stomach at the same time will move, and the hand that was lying on the chest will have to remain practically motionless. Then, slowly, exhale very slowly through your mouth, while gradually lowering the abdominal wall, and by the very end of the exhalation, the peritoneum should return to its original position.
Absolutely full deep breathing
At the very beginning of the exercises, take a full deep exhalation, freeing the lungs. Then slowly inhale very slowly, while again raising the abdominal wall. To the very end of the inhalation, try to hold your breath, and then just as slowly and slowly exhale through your mouth, first lower your chest, and then your ribs. Complete deep breathing It is extremely necessary in order to rest in between contractions. Such exercises can even cause some dizziness. And therefore it is better to train like this in a prone position and you need to start with no more than three or four times in a row.
Sharp exhalations
It may happen that after the very first contractions, despite the exact fact that the cervix is not yet completely open, the woman will begin to try. It is quite possible to prevent this with the help of breathing, for this you need to first take two short, not deep breaths, and then one, but very long, and noisy exhalation right with a roar.

When asked why Ilya Muromets refused to become Chernihiv governor and what helped glorious hero Holy Russian to defeat the nightingale given by the author Caucasian the best answer is
It helped to win that he did good deeds (and in epics, the one who is kinder always turns out to be smarter, stronger, more cunning, more dexterous, etc.). In addition, he loved his squad, his warriors and took care of his people. He was chosen to become a true glorious defender of the motherland. Behind him stood the power of truth, the power of the spirit, the power of love and the power of faith.
And now about the same - a little more.
According to the epics, the hero Ilya Muromets until the age of 33 (the age at which Christ began to preach and died) "did not control" his hands and feet, and then received miraculous healing from the elders (or kalik passers-by).
They, having come to Ilya's house, when there was no one else but him, ask him to get up and bring them water. Ilya answered this: “But I don’t have any arms or legs, I’ve been sitting on my seat for thirty years.”
They repeatedly ask Ilya to get up and bring them water. After that, Ilya gets up, goes to the water carrier and brings water. The elders tell Elijah to drink water.
Ilya drank and recovered, after the second drink he feels exorbitant strength in himself, and he is given a third drink to reduce it.
After, the elders tell Ilya that he should go to the service of Prince Vladimir. At the same time, they mention that on the way to Kyiv there is an unbearable stone with an inscription, which Ilya must also visit.
After, Ilya says goodbye to his parents, brothers and relatives and goes "to the capital city of Kyiv" and first comes "to that immovable stone." On the stone was written an appeal to Elijah to move the stone from its immovable place.
There he will find a heroic horse, weapons and armor. Ilya moved the stone and found everything that was written there. He said to the horse: “Oh, you are a heroic horse! Serve me with faith and truth." After that, Ilya gallops to Prince Vladimir.
The confrontation of Ilya Muromets with the Nightingale the Robber, sometimes with the Idolish, called the Glutton, is also attributed to Ilya Muromets and the release of the princess from the snake ...
Often there is a mixture of Ilya Muromets with Elijah the prophet. This confusion also occurred in the alleged epic homeland of Ilya Muromets, in the view of the peasants of the village of Karacharovo (near Murom). The study of the "biography" of Ilya Muromets leads to the conviction that many fabulous and legendary wandering warriors have accumulated on the name of this popular hero.

Ilya Muromets Orthodox Church honors as a saint, and the people - as the main hero of the Russian land.
Why is the hero holy?
The word "hero" is associated with remarkable strength and courage. But if we think deeper, we can easily see something else there - the word "God" or "rich". The Russian people chose their words with care, so that even after many centuries they reveal important meanings to us. The word "hero" appeared in the annals in the XIII century and began to denote a person gifted with wealth, a divine abundance of strength. Before him, the Slavs used more unambiguous words: “brave” or “horobr”, that is, “daring”. They say that the strength of the heroes in its origin is not only physical. They are superior to the enemy in that they stand on the side of the truth. And God, as you know, "is not in power, but in truth." And the thirty years that the hero spent "on the stove" should be understood not as years of idleness and idleness, but as a time of learning humility and preparation for service.
Why was he sitting on the stove?
From epics it is known that Ilya Muromets spent all his childhood and adolescence on the stove. It is reported that at the age of 30 "Ilya did not have walking at his feet." Scientists who examined the relics of the saint noted in the lumbar spine a curvature of the spine to the right and clearly expressed additional processes on the vertebrae. This means that in his youth the saint could indeed suffer from paralysis. “Kaliki passers-by”, who appeared in the epic to Ilya, could, according to one version, be folk healers who set Ilya’s vertebrae and gave him a healing decoction to drink. And according to another, healing and strength is a miracle given to Elijah by God.
Nickname Chobotok
"Ilya Muromets" sounds much more serious and impressive than "Ilya Chobotok". Nevertheless, both of these nicknames belonged to the holy reverend Elijah of the Caves. Chobotok is, as you know, a boot. Ilya Muromets received this nickname after he once had to defend himself from enemies with a boot, which he put on his leg at the moment when he was attacked. Here is how the document of the Kiev-Pechersk Monastery tells about this:
“There is also one giant or hero, called Chobotka, they say that once many enemies attacked him at the time when he put on his boot, and since in his haste he could not grab any other weapon, he began to defend himself with another boot, which had not yet put it on and overcame everyone, which is why he received such a nickname.
But this was not the first time that Ilya had to defend himself with such weapons. In one of the epics, a helmet helped the hero to defeat the robbers without a number:
And he started here
wave the sludge,
How to wave to the side -
so here is the street
Ay in a friend will wave -
alley."
Censorship omissions
Not everyone associates the image of the epic Ilya Muromets with Saint Elijah, whose relics rest in the caves of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra. Such a division is fabulous Ilya and a real person - largely happened due to Soviet power, who made considerable efforts to make a holy fairy-tale hero-warrior. It was necessary to secularize this image, to de-Christianize it. For example, it was at this time that the episode of the epic was distorted, in which the “passing kaliki” heal Ilya. In the pre-revolutionary edition of the epic, it was stated that Christ and the two apostles were "kaliks". The Soviet edition is silent about this.
Descendants of Ilya Muromets
The village of Karacharovo is now part of the city of Murom. And in the place where the hut of Muromets stood, not far from the Trinity Church, where the hero dragged a bog oak from the Oka up the mountain, which the horse could not drag, stands the house of the Gushchin sisters. Priokskaya Street, 279. The Gushchina sisters consider themselves descendants of Ilya Muromets in the 28th generation.
The great-great-grandfather of the Gushchin sisters Ivan Afanasyevich inherited heroic strength Ilya Muromets. He could easily pull the cart on himself if the horse could not cope. And the local authorities at one time forbade him from participating in fisticuffs because of the lethal force of the blow. According to another version, this man nevertheless participated in the battles, but with one limitation: his hands were tied.
It is interesting that recently, during the cleaning of the Oka, several more ancient bog oaks with three girths each were found. But they could not pull ashore!
Murom or Morovsk?
Not so long ago, there were passionate disputes in the scientific community, and some of the opponents were convinced that the homeland of the saint was not Murom, but the city of Morovsk (Moroviysk) in Ukraine.
"IN glorious city in Murom, in a village in Karacharovo "- this is how the epics tell us about the place of birth of the hero. More than once, he himself recalls his native places, lost among dense forests and impenetrable and swampy swamps.
In the same Chernihiv region as Morovsk, there is the city of Karachev, consonant with Karacharov. And even the village of Devyatidubye and the Smorodinnaya River.
However, now the place of origin of Ilya Muromets has been established for sure. This is the Russian city of Murom, the village of Karacharovo.
In the West
Surprisingly, Saint Elijah of Muromets is also known in the West, because he is the main character not only of Russian epics, but also, for example, German epic poems of the 13th century, based, of course, on earlier legends. In these poems, he is also called Ilya, he is also a hero, yearning, moreover, for his homeland. In the German epic of the Lombard cycle, in the poem about Ortnit, the ruler of Garda, the uncle of the ruler is Ilya the Russian (Ilian von Riuzen). He participates in a campaign on Sudera and helps Ortnit get a bride. Ilya did not see his wife and children for almost a year, and the poem speaks of his desire to return to Rus'.
Another example is the Scandinavian sagas recorded in Norway around 1250: the "Vilkina-saga" or "Tidrek-saga" from the northern collection of stories about Dietrich of Bern. The ruler of Rus', Gertnit, had two sons from his legal wife, Ozantrix and Valdemar, and the third son from his concubine, Ilias. Thus, according to this information, Ilya Muromets, no more and no less, but the blood brother of Vladimir - later the Grand Duke of Kyiv.
