8 weeks and panicking about breathlessness

[AllTheWhatIfs]

Has anyone else had this? I feel really out of breathe to the point where I feel I'm going to go light headed.

Starting to worry myself!

I’m getting this too! Commuting in and out of London every day is shattering, I feel like I need to keeps stopping to get my breath back. Hoping it’s all normal...

How far gone are you?

I'm only doing some ironing and had to sit down! It's quite scary. I feel very restless too.

I’m only 6 weeks so very early stages. Had to pull a stall up to the sink the other day to do the washing up - hopeless!

Could you be anaemic? One of the signs of anaemia is breathlessness... I had this in all three of my pregnancies. Found during my routine blood tests.

I got this in first trimester - was very scary. Googled it and it was reported to be very normal.

I had this in early pregnancy, and it turned out I was anaemic. I've been on iron tablets and have noticed a vast improvement. Might be worth getting a blood test just to rule it out. Have you seen your midwife yet?

Yup I've got the same. I can barely do my usual walk from the station to my desk. The stairs is a struggle. Ive started an iron supplement, I'm hopeful it will help. No sign yet though
