questions swelling, hard to breathe

I'm 28 weeks and I have a few questions about swelling now I delt with swelling in my feet my last preg so it wasn't new to me this one however I think ice noticed a bit of swelling in my face now I know sometimes that's a sign of preclampcia not sure if I spelt it right. But Ive never had a problem with my blood pressure or anything I'm just wondering if I should call my doc office about it? Also sometimes its really hard to breathe and nothing I do really helps even when I take big breaths of air? I don't member having a prob with my other preg.

I had trouble breathing second trimester last pregnancy.   Dr did asthma test.  Nothing.  He said it was just pregnancy.  It went away after two weeks though I couldnt sing until after baby came.  Call your doc to see what he says.  It could be just pregnancy.

The part I would be worried about is the issues breathing over everything else. Need oxygen to even survive with or with preclampcia. I would call in based on that and then give them the other symptoms. They'll probably want a urine sample as well to see if there are any proteins. Sometimes you can have some of the symptoms and not all. But do get checked out. Keep us updated!

I would call just in case. It doesnt hurt to ask questions, and they might be able to put your mind at ease or treat a potential problem.
I hope you feel better soon.
