Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Many investigators have studied pulmonary function tests during normal pregnancy, most of them found a significant decrease in pulmonary function test parameters during all pregnancy trimesters. Others showed that the PFTs parameters are normal in the first trimester but there was significant decrease in them in the second and third trimesters, or in the third trimester only.
Study Design: Randomized control trial Sixty twin pregnant women during the third trimester i (27th weeks gestation),aged 25 to 35 years old and body mass index was ≥ 30 kg/m², will participate in this study. They will be assigned into two equal groups; control group and study group ( study group only will make deep breathing exercise inform of diaphragmatic and costal breathing 3times a day for 15 repetitions each exercise for 9 weeks, pulmonary function test will be applied for both groups at 27th week gestation and at 36th weeks gestation.
