very breathless and uncomfortable at 24 weeks

[GhostofChristmasNatt]

Thsi seems a bit early to me thinking back to previous experiences but maybe I just don't remember? Anyone else feel like this so early?

Yes I did, especially at night and with both my pregnancies. And I have a friend who is 22 weeks who has mentioned similar.

Yup, I was like that from about 22 weeks this time round...

thanks bozza, nights are especially bad. it would be nice to sleep in something like a floatation tank..

I'm 25 weeks pg and am already starting to get breathless when climbing stairs etc. Night-times are uncomfortable because I just can't get used to sleeping on my side. The daytimes aren't too bad yet.

I used to be breathing so loudly in the night that DH used to go and sleep on the sofa bed.

it's cra*p isn't it? Also have to get up at 2:30 am to eat a whole tub of lemon sorbet and then two hours later to have a wee...

Im 22 weeks and the same, started last week,, its mainly when i go to eat , i get breathless! This is my 1st pregnancy and it's all so so new,,i worry about things / feelings but cant ring doc everytime! have uncomfotable pain around lower belly- is this normal>?

What's the pain like - could it be related to what you're eating? I had a few weeks where my stomach got really upset by certain types of food, mainly pizzas, sadly! I had terrible stomach pains and was a bit constipated too. It might be worth calling your midwife team - they'd rather you did that than suffer in silence.

Also get breathless (24 weeks) and some days are worse than others. xx

I'm only 22 weeks (but I am 45 years old and not the fittest old thing on the block either!) and I am starting to get really breathless after climbing stairs. Also, like the poster above, I am finding it hard to get used to sleeping on my side after a lifetime of sleeping mostly on my front.
