Anyone else??

Question

I’m 20 weeks, 3 days. I’m experiencing shortness of breath today, almost like I’m not getting enough oxygen when I breath in. I looked it up and it seems like it’s normal in pregnancy. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this around this time in their pregnancy, and If there is anything I can do to get some relief?

Answer

Normal. Although I do have low iron haha and take iron supplements. But it doesn’t just have to be from that. High progesterone and the fact that there is a baby/expanding uterus pushing all your organs in places that they don’t belong can do that too lol. I actually got some anxiety the other day because I was having a hard time breathing. Lol

Answer

My midwife says that mine is due to lack of iron. She recommended I cook in a cast iron skillet to get more iron that way. She also told me about a liquid iron supplement. Obviously be sure to ask your doctor or midwife about that for you before taking anything.
