What's your breathlessness like at around 23 weeks?

I have got so bad, even at rest my breathing is laboured. Have had a nasty cold which has pretty much gone but still puffing away. Anyone?

I am breathless at 22 but have been since about 8 weeks - its usually on exertion though. Short walks and stairs knock me out

I'd get your iron levels checked, I've been breathless lately (29 weeks) which didn't happen to me until much later last time. I got a call from the dr to say my iron levels are low, breathlessness can be a symptom of that.

Been to GP and they did a load of tests ie listening to chest and all that and all is fine. I have MW appt in 2 weeks so iron will be tested then as I did raise this.... however, they said if worse go back next week. FEd up.
