Congestion/bearthlessness at 22 wks

[Jackie42]

Is anyone else suffering from shortness of breath/congestion during sleep? This is making me anxious as I feel I can’t breath on waking up.

Get checked for anaemia.

I’ve had breathlessness through the whole pregnancy so far which has been a bit frustrating. It was the first symptom I had before finding out I was pregnant. Very weird but I guess the body is working hard working for 2 people. Worst is when I’m sleeping keep catching my breath in my sleep! Defo worth getting bloods checked although my iron levels have been good through out so far. Worth a check up incase it’s somerhjng else

Just on here searching this my self I'm 27 weeks pregnant and the vbreathing at night is getting worse it's causing me to breath with my moths open making it uncomfortable, did you get any help ?

I had bloods taken for anemia, which I didn't have, but the blood results showed I had a slight infection so was given anti bioctics. I have also been sleeping on two pillows on my left side and this has helped a bit. It may worth seeing your GP.
