39 weeks and out of breath

[woodhj]

39 weeks and out of breath at random times through out the day. I have to stop and wait for it to pass which at times is straight away but others i have a few minutes. Anyone else having this? I know it could be the size of baby pressing against lungs etc. Could it be braxton hicks??

Out of breath like you've just run a race and nearly caught it again but not quiet? I have this and my mw said it's heart palpitations and in later pregnancy just means your body is struggling to pump the oxygen around, apparently the heat won't be helping, I'm 39+ 4 and feel your pain!!
If your worried go to the doctors though.. I think pregnant people are as 'allowed' to go in for niggles as babies and the elderly!

I mentioned it early on to mw as i had heart palpatations and she said this is normal as long as im not dizzy with it. They seem to have got more intense and longer. Not worried about them, just fed up of having to stop for breath. I hope it is a sign that baby s not far away as fed up with waddling and heat. Thanks for advise x

Glad you've got the thumbs up! I've had it quite a bit today and thought of you!! Hopefully we will both have babies instead of bumps very very soon!!
