It is amazing what you learn on this website!  Wow, i have been breathless for a few weeks when i go up the stairs (got a three storey house), and i was anemic last pg but didn't realise the two were related.  Had bloods done on Thursday so i will wait for a phonecall from mw to say i am going on iron tablets, again!

i have it and i had it with dd i have asthma aswell so was panicking as i barely use my inhalers as my asthma only gets bad when i have a cold so i couldn't remember which one to take or how much i could take so had to ring my mum to remind me now if it happens i lie down for 10mins take slow deep breathes and calm my self down it is horrible though xxxxxxxxxx

Mention it when you see your midwife, it can be a sign of low iron levels.

I've been breathless for weeks, it's not too bad until I do anything but took DD for her swimming lesson this morning and was pretty much out of breath. I had the same when pregnant with her so not too worried about it.

Yeah I have its not really bad but really unpleasant. I haven't had my bloods done yet but am at dosc 2nite so am gonna ask to check i am not anemic. I was last year and i got the same breathless feeling then.

I think its normal then, just not pleasant! x

I was like that the ohter night, lucky it passed quickly, i wasnt doing anything either 10+1

Hiya,  I have been getting this quite a lot to. xx

Hi Is anyone else suffering from breathlessness, I have not been rushing around and feel like I can't get my breath. Thanks x
