contractions & shortness of breath

39 weeks pregnant, contractions(not strong enough) & shortness of breath.
Have you experienced this? He is dropped, so it's not b/c he is up high. When i try to breathe thru a contraction it's very hard..ergg.

Sorry to hear that   I didn't experience that and not sure what it could be but good luck and I hope this end soon for you and you have your little one in your arms!  

I felt like I couldn't breathe at all during a contraction. All those classes and movies and jokes people do with the labor breathing techniques totally failed me. Holding my breath made me able to get through the contraction better than trying to breathe did haha

that's where i am, when i just stop breathing its so much better!! =/ it suckss
