Breathlessness

[billybigballs]

Hello, just after some advice... I'm nearly 35 weeks and feeling really quite breathless. I know I've had very low blood pressure - it's been getting lower and lower at each midwife appointment, not sure if the two are connected?

I just don't know whether to be worried or not, but I don't feel brilliant. Seeing mw again on Friday anyway.

Does anyone else feel like this?

I'm 31 weeks and definitely feeling the breathlessness. Just a small flight of stairs has a real impact. But my pregnancy app stated that this week lungs start to get squished as the baby continues to take up more room.. so with you being 35 weeks you're bound to be feeling it more. But if you're concerned just call your midwife today rather than wait until Friday.. I'm not totally sure about the low blood pressure though I know it's common

You could have low iron i have this. Do you feel like your heart flutters like palpatations when youre breathless? Worth a phone call get some bloods done maybe.

I was breathless during the last couple of months of my pregnancy. At first it was because do was breech and her head was right up in my ribs. I could physically feel her winding me from the inside! Then I became slightly amaemic, which was more constant and felt more like i'd just walked up a flight of stairs quickly type of breathless.
