18 weeks pregnant and panic attacks

Hi!

I’m 18 weeks pregnant and find (normally) in the evenings if I’ve eaten dinner and I’m either curled up, hot or are lying down. I feel as really short of breath and almost feels like I’m having a panic attack. I often have to try and cool myself down and remove layers of clothes. I’ve got bought maternity clothes so some of my trousers can feel a bit tighter on my stomach… not sure if it’s this…

is this normal?

it’s becoming more regular

If you are short of breath and have palpitations it can be a sign of anaemia. Do you know what your iron levels are like?

The last time bloods I had (a couple of weeks ago) my iron levels were fine no concerns
I keep googling it but I don’t seem to find anybody talking about anything similar
