24 weeks and advice needed

[juliec26]

hi - currently 24 weeks and really struggling and wondered if my symptoms were normal as with dd1 dont remember feeling this bad..basically feel out of breath and totally uncomfortable walking around for more than 10 minutes.. sometimes even out of breath when sitting talking - also my nausea has returned and after having test for low iron (all normal) am being to become worried what could be wrong with me - I was not overweight before becoming pregnant and have so far gained about 10lbs- anyone else feel like this??

Yep, i am almost 23 weeks, same weightgain and i get out of puff doing anything! No sickness for me though. I also didn't have this this early with ds, i thought it was just my age (36).

maybe age im 34 and my dd is 4.5 so guessing 5 yrs older than last time.. just got myself worried, but since looking on the net does seems quite common, sometimes i get dizzy, but only had a few moments so far - apparently it goes once baby drops lower :)

I've been out of breath throughout this pg. I do have anaemia though, and low BP.

I was the same in my last pg, and had lots of investigations, to make sure it was nothing untoward. All the results were fine, and GP concluded that it's just one of those pregnancy things.

Flora .. What did they investigate for??.. Googled stupidly and came up with blood clot on the lung.. Don't you just love google.. Think ifi had low iron I feel better as would have a reason for it .. It's not constant but guessing it will only get worse as I get bigger :(

they were just checking for any circulatory problems. basically GP said there was a miniscule chance it was not related to pregnancy, and she was right.

I bounced back fine after the last pg. I am now 36weeks with DC2 and wheezing like a geriatric again, but I know things will improve after delivery.
