I also feel baby movements continously without any break, and also have contractions.please help me Doctor: Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic. I can understand your situation and problem. Some degree of breathlessness is common in later stage of pregnancy. It is due to pressure effect of gravid (enlarged) uterus on lungs and diaphragm. Another causes are bronchitis and anemia. So better to consult doctor and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and hemoglobin estimation. Lower abdominal and back pain can be due to urine infection. So get done Urinary microscopic examination. Better to first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
