Shortness of breath

I’ve had this and find myself getting out of breath in conversation! I think it can just be a symptom and as long as you’re not feeling faint or anything is ok x

It’s totally normal from what I’ve been told. I saw the doctor last Friday and I had the same but along with headaches and dizziness they’re currently testing to see if I have anaemia. Might be worth keeping and eye on it just in case as they can provide iron supplements which would help ❤️

Thank you! I have got blood tests booked on Wednesday to check for a few things so I’m guessing any problem will be detected on them. I’m suffering with severe sickness (hg) so I don’t think that’s helping as symptoms of that include being lightheaded etc! I have just been sat down and this is what it’s like so I was a bit concerned xx

Yeah I am like this too, I had blood test and my iron was a tiny tiny bit low, I think it’s pretty normal though to be short of breath in pregnancy

Your blood volume increases by about 20% by first trimester and 30-50% overall so you literally need more air/oxygen to oxygenated it all! It's all very interesting really. Not much help sorry but might explain why!

Thank you for your comments! 🥰 very helpful, interesting and reassuring xxx
