Breathlessness (or shallow breathing) when you are pregnant is very common.

Hormones expand capillaries in the respiratory tract and relax muscles in the lungs. In addition, as the months go by in your pregnancy, your expanding uterus pushes up against your diaphragm preventing your lungs from expanding fully.

Knowing this one might assume that breathlessness in pregnancy is par for the course.

However, regardless of what is happening in your abdomen, lungs or with your hormones….the truth is that your vibration (the message your are sending out to the universe) in each moment is what matters most.

Since very early on in my pregnancy with my twins, I noticed changes in my breathing. My first reaction was that this is just something to get used to. 

But I knew that this was just an assumption….part of the current paradigm that has forgotten that we are constantly co-creating our reality. So I decided that I wanted to be able to enjoy deep breathing in pregnancy

I discovered that connecting with my babies (one at a time), I experience an immediate shift in my breathing. In fact, my breath becomes very deep without any effort on my part.

I just stop, say hello to each of them, tell them how much I love them and how wonderful they are and breath just seems to fill me.

Why might that be? Because when I am taking the time to talk to my babies the message I am sending out to the universe is one of ease, joy, love and a knowing that all is well.

Immediately, I begin to attract confirmation of ’all is well’ and my lungs fill with the love of the universe.

Don’t take my word for it though, try it out for yourself and let me know how you get on.

In joy,
