Out of Breath...32+5?!

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone had any advice...currently sat at my desk and feeling very out of breath. I have been feeling this every day for a week or so now. I know that breathlessness is one of the lovely array of pregnancy quirks, but I am starting to get a little dizzy with it now and can't understand why I have it jsut sat down?

Do you think I should make an appointment with the Dr, or just put up with it?!

yes i am anaemic and get breathless just by talking (27+2). It could be that or just the baby crushng your lungs.

I posted exactly the same thing a three weeks ago, if it was just breathlessness you could put it down to baby, but dizziness means you may be short of oxygen, indicating anaemia.

I was put on iron tablets for this, they don't work quickly, it's taken 3 weeks to feel better, but they do make a difference. (I'm 37 weeks now)

I'd have a chat with your gp, it may be nothing but it's best to be sure.
