Breathlessness

[Bellsx]

I'm 35 weeks pregnant and feeling quite breathless today. I'm already on iron tablets so is it just due to baby taking up more room and squashing things?

Yeah it's common. I'm 33 and a half weeks and baby is constantly up high with her feet tucked in my ribs. Makes walking up the stairs impossible 😂

When did you last have your bloods done and how long have you been on the supplements? It’s very common with iron deficiency and taking iron won’t fix the problem immediately.

I'm 34 weeks and get breathless just from saying a long sentence!

Phew glad it's not just me then. My Dad rang the other day and said to me where have you just been then and I said what do you mean nowhere because I sounded so out of breath, I'd literally just walked from the kitchen to the living room 😂 I've been on the iron tablets from 28 weeks and saw the midwife at 34 so she checked all my bloods and said they were fine so I guess it's just one of the joys of the last few weeks of pregnancy.
