Shortness of breath
Hey, I'm 25 weeks on Friday and this os my 3rd pregnancy and gosh do I feel like this is my worst one to date I don't know if it's because I'm older but my whole digestive system just feels messed up I feel short of breath the lot 😅 I'm ok in the morning as the day goes on I'm just finished, I feel like there's still a long way to go! Who's fed up already?

Thank you Andrea ill mention at my next appt xx
Hi! I know someone has already answered your concerns but can also say that I have experienced horrible shortness of breath. Can be due to your baby getting bigger and so your uterus is getting bigger and taking up a lot of space so your lungs lose a little room when your bump grows, but I was also diagnosed with iron deficiency anaemia which was causing my shortness of breath and I was also put on iron supplements, so really could be possible that you have low iron but they also do usually find that through blood tests at your antenatal appointments. Definitely worth mentioning to your midwife though as can be a horrible feeling! Hope you find a solution to your problem ☺️ x

Hiya, I am 26 weeks and very tired and short of breath all the time. And also just found out I am low on iron so my midwife tested me and offered prescription.
