37 weeks - breathless - when to call triage

[Cherry85]

Just shy of 37 weeks with DS2. DS1 was breach and sat in a position where I never had this issue.

So out of breath I am just walking about sighing and taking huge breaths the whole time. Takes me about 5 minutes to get back to normal after taking a mouthful of food or drinking.

I have the higher end of normal fluid and they said to watch out for breathless but I have no idea what is normal and what's not

That's not normal, call 111

Thank you - will call now - everything i read said shortness of breath is normal so I wasnt sure but didnt seem right

Call the maternity unit right now.
You should have a number for the ward in your pack.

Call triage for any breathlessness

All ok - asked me to go back on iron tablets and get bloods next week
