Breathless?

[LynneK]

Hi girls, is anyone else completely breathless? I'm 8+1, admittedly overweight (15st and 5ft 8 - BMI 32) but I'm completely puffed out.

I actually feel like I can't get enough air into my lungs even if I stop and take the deepest breath I can muster, does anyone else feel this way? I'm convincing myself of all sorts because of it x

I was all through pregnancy and I had low iron which was mostly yo blame xx

 

[tashap]

Yes! I've had this for weeks - it's like I cant get enough air out though. I'd mention it to your midwife though x

I've been like this a lot since around 22 weeks. Had a blood test for anaemia which all came back OK so no idea why it keeps happening.

Hey girls I phoned to speak to my doc who wanted to see me and the result of that was being sent straight to the maternity assessment where I've had a chest X-ray and about to have heparin and be kept in overnight to be treated for a blood clot. I've to get a scan in the morn and depending how that goes will maybe get out tmz afternoon.

 

[millielaura]

Do they think you have one? When i had chest pains i had the same but luckily it turned out not to be one but its good they are being cautious

 

[LynneK]

I don't know Mrs, I hope not but we have a family history so I suppose it's def better to be over cautious x

 

[millielaura]

Yes defo best to be over cautious! Thinking of you and hoping scan is ok! Xx
