Heartburn and shortness of breath: As the weight of uterus increases along with the weight your baby, you will feel frequent bouts of breathlessness. This can easily be relieved by switching positions from sitting to standing or standing to lying down. Drinking warm water helps too. Shortness of breath generally is nothing to worry about unless you have a history of asthma.
Back pain: The weight of the baby gets heavier as your weeks of pregnancy increases, stuff a few pillows at the back for some added comfort and practicing good posture goes a long way. Try not to carry heavy items on your own as it can worsen the pain. As with other muscular pains and soreness, heat pads can help relax the muscles and eradicate the pain. You can also ask your partner to give you a good back massage to enhance the blood flow around the lower back area to relieve the pain.
Bloatedness and flatulence: It is often encouraged for most 32 weeks pregnant mothers to have six to seven small meals a day as opposed to having three large meals in a day. To reduce on the gassy feeling or bloatedness, avoid drinking gassy drinks and oily food, especially before sleep.
Nausea and morning sickness: While not uncommon to feel the morning sickness all over again during the last trimester, it is still important to replenish all the fluids lost. Keep hydrating. Have smaller meals a day. If you are very prone to puking, having a warm ginger tea can curb the sensation of vomiting. Sucking on lollipops helps too! Visit your doctor if you are feeling extreme nauseous to rule out certain medical conditions. An anti-emetic drug, Zofran is usually prescribed for nausea.
