Advice in ways to deal with this. 34w tomorrow and struggling to get a breath. I'm so tired. I've tried sleeping up right. On side etc.
I don't have mw till weds. But also suspect my iron is low as struggle naturally with this and with dd had to have iron transfusions.
It almost feels like when I used to have panic attacks.. Like someone sitting on my chest

It does sound like anaemia. My iron levels were only borderline low, but I was incredibly breathless and also had geart palpations - my heart was beating up to 140bpm. It obviously affects some more than others

Thank you. Rang them. They said as all movement was fine with baby I didn't need to be seen and was either due to lack of space due to growing baby or iron levels which I'll Have bloods done weds. Unless I can get a gp apt before then.. ( awaiting a call if gp has a cancellation),
It's not to bad at the moment but as the day goes on it gets worse.
