Feeling Winded/Short of Breath

Hi all. Im 29 weeks and over the last day or two I've become increasingly more short of breath/winded when im doing small things even like walking down the hall or cleaning a window. I was in ED yesterday and Dr said everything was ok except my hemoglobin which I already knew and am on Iron Supplements for. I also know to expect this a bit as baby is growing and taking up more room and I have a tiny torso. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this.

I definitely am. My midwife warned me that I would probably feel this way since I’m only 5ft tall and the baby is already measuring 3 weeks larger. Not a lotta space to work with

Ohhhhhhh yes - also 29 weeks and I can’t even stand up without feeling like I ran a marathon 😂

I had my husband help finish loading the washing machine today because the mere act of collecting the laundry to put it in the machine had me winded… so yes, lol I feel this.

I'm 27 weeks 5 days and I've been feeling this way a little while now 🤣🤣 but it's only getting worse and the fatigue lately is so much worse! I need 2 naps a day now 😭

I am 28 weeks and 3 days and I feel like this often now. If I am reclined on my back for too long, eat too much, try to go to fast.. just about anything, I get out of breath.

My partner was concerned when I was out of breath after talking too much while pulling bread out of the oven the other day, haha. Starting feeling this around 29 weeks and it's definitely becoming more consistent.

Does your chest feel tight with it? Like heavy?
