Breathlessness

I'm 28 weeks pregnant and finding it hard to breath, I can't find any position that eases it, I'm only 5'1" so I guess there isn't a lot of room in there for little man. Just really not enjoying myself right now

I'm the same at 29 weeks 4 days but my hemoglobin level is really low which can cause breathlessness as a side effect. Had some iron via an IV infusion yesterday so that should help a bit soon!

Hang in there in a couple of weeks you belly should drop giving you more space to breathe, you will just have to pee a lot more because he will be right on top of your bladder.
