Out of breath

I’m 31 weeks FTM, is it normal to be so out of breath when talking and doing everyday stuff? Don’t want to call maternity if it’s not something to stress about.
Thank you x

My midwife told me mine was down to low iron levels so I’ve been given iron tablets - but if you’re concerned please call for advice x

Definitely, several times at work recently
I’ve had to pause mid presenting on a teams call as I felt like I was mid-marathon!

Yeah, being out of breath was basically my first sign of pregnancy when I was only 6 weeks pregnant, and it didn't got better throughout the pregnancy 😅 Prior to pregnancy I was active (running, gym, lots of walking) so that's why it came as a massive surprise, but I also had low iron levels and even when they are slightly lower, I feel it immediately.

Yes sometimes any other symptoms, have you checked your Blood Pressure Levels, I was high risk so I was told to go regardless , where my sister was not and she still went when she was alarmed by something, but each momma and baby / pregnancy is different!

I’m 29 weeks second baby and feel the same, breathless, exhausted, heart pounding, just make sure they double check iron levels

Night terrors and sleep paralysis

I’m starting to have really bad night terrors and I think sleep paralysis, I sleep with the baby in my room but I’m still having vivid dreams of the baby and in all of them it’s someone taking him or taunting me using him against me I guess, and I can’t speak in my dreams even though I try to and I’m just stuck there watching it, then before anything happens even though in my mind I know what was going to happen, I wake up really fast sweating and crying. But I constantly feel like what was in my dream is actually here watching me and sometimes it’s like I know something is there. I don’t know if it’s daft but I’m scared to leave the baby alone in a room when he’s asleep because I’m scared the thing will take him or something..

CRACKED THE MORNING SICKNESS!!!!

I have cracked it girls! I have found having a few sips of Diet Coke throughout the day here and there really helps manage my sickness and nausea feeling. Honestly if your really struggling like I have please try it! It has been my life saver throughout the first trimester!

am I in labor? 38 weeks 5 days first baby!!

hii!! this may be a little long but if you can help find out what's wrong please..it's gratefully appreciated. I started having contractions around 6 am this morning and they haven't stopped at all. not consistent... sometimes 6 min apart sometimes 10 but it has been happening all day and have gotten stronger. now at the point where it's getting hard to talk or move to be comfortable. I went to the hospital...they seemed very rude to me and honestly made me feel like I was just being dramatic. when she checked my cervix it didn't even feel uncomfortable like it usually does just like she put a finger up there and said I was only 1cm...which I've been since Monday as I know of. she didn't even tell me what percentage effaced I was which was weird but whatever. I left the hospital crying...the contractions got stronger but still not in the timing it needs to be. its getting stronger but not closer together. I get home and my mucus plug started to come out and the contractions just got worse and worse BUT STILL THE SAME PROBLEM. I took a shower and I felt a on and off leak happening. I didn't push it out it just felt like a little bit of pressure like I needed to pee kinda then a little gush. this happened twice but not a big gush and honestly it was just a little bit.i feel so tired but everytime I try and sleep the contractions start again. they still happen when I walk and honestly it feels worse...it's also just not in my stomach it is in my back too!! I've tried all 4s and standing up and laying on my side but nothing helps. I don't know if I'm being dramatic or if this is labor and I should go to another hospital....I just don't want to be sent home for nothing but I have to be dilated more then a 1....no way a one is this bad....if it is I have a worse problem on my hands!!! I'll post some pictures of the contraction times I've been getting. thank you so much for reading. if you can help...even better!!

Nosebleeds third trimester?

Is anyone else experiencing nosebleeds once they hit their third trimester!? Ive never had one in my life. It started at 29 weeks and I feel like I have one once a week now - I am 31 weeks. They arent heavy and last like 2 minutes if the air is dry but still 😫

Thoughts 38+1

I just experienced a seriously painful stomach pain when I turned over to my left side in bed. I had slept of my right side the whole night then moved to my left and the pain was in my stomach area (middle) It felt so awful literally like a stab inside my stomach. Baby is moving fine. Should I be concerned or is this normal BH
