    Hi Anju

    I'm so happy that you've got your baby all safe & sound. Breathing exercises are generally good but really you ate in a special situation and perhaps need to ask your consultant/specialist or his/her nurse. We're not medical professionals here and few of us are even in shouting distance of reproductive years. I would hate for us to give you a bum steer. Do ask about the exercises, postural drainage, and mucolytics or mucus thinners. You also need to make sure that you don't still have an infection.
