I'm 23 weeks pregnant and I jist feel a little breathless. I don't remember if I felt like this with DS 1 or not? Anyone had this?

Yup. In my case it turned out to be anaemia. Definitely don't want to assume that in your case it's the same thing. But FWIW it was absolutely debilitating, and it took the midwife-doctor combo two months to tell me that's what the problem was and to drink an iron supplement. So unless someone with much more medical knowledge than me comes along and says otherwise (and I have very little knowledge!), get that checked pretty pronto - don't suffer in silence. Good luck.

Oh, I don't mean go and buy an iron supplement without medical advice, by the way. I was really careful to check everything I did with someone who actually knew Stuff before I did it.

Think it's pretty common, my midwife said the cause for me was low blood pressure. Anaemia also can be a cause, but run it by your midwife.

Could be a blood clot
