I am pregnant with my 4th, and am 20 1/2 weeks, but the last few days I have been feeling a bit breathless. It feels like a constant pressure under my ribs.. should I worry??

hmm, i would normally think that the baby was up under your lungs. you could go and see mw to check x

Could be low iron levels causing that but it's worth getting checked out.

maybe if you mention it to the sonographer, they can check there and then?

agree with jodie that you might be aneamic....which can make you breathless...do mention it when you go tomorrow , just in case .

fransmom · 24/06/2007 21:39
