dizzy and out of breath

[Mom_pt2]

Im 28wks 4days and for the last two days I've been feeling dizzy and out of breath. It goes away than comes back later. I lay down and this usually helps, is this normal and does this happen to anybody else? I have my dr apt tomorrow so I was just going to wait to talk to him, but I dont know if this is something you wait on.

My dizziness isn't to the point of passing out. As for the shortness of breath I can't hold a conversation comfortable. I kind of struggle a lil.
How much water is enough water? I drink about 8-10 glasses a day. Thanks for the input ladies.

The baby is getting big but you probably still haven't dropped yet and won't for a few weeks out of breath is fine and dizzy is from the shortness of breath and is actually pretty common in pregnancy. They say it is really nothing to be concerned about unless it is making it hard for you to function or you are fainting from it. I personally have this problem as well and if I need to just sit until I feel able to continue what it is I'm doing. I'm 27w4d

How out of breathe? Like to the point your not able to have a conversation or just pressure from the baby?? I get a weird feelings after i eat. I get really hot and im breathing heavy but im used to it seeing how this is my 3rd pregnancy. At 28 wks that baby is taking up a TON of room in your belly and definitely putting pressure on your organs including your lungs. However if your so out of breath that u can't hold a conversation u need to be seen. As for being dizzy are u dehydrated?  Make sure ur taking ur prenatals and drinking plenty of fluids.
