31wks- should I be worried?

Question

Currently almost 31 weeks pregnant and experiencing the following symptoms:
-extreme fatigue
-muscle fatigue (where it feels like I did a hardcore workout the day before and can barely use muscles)
-shortness of breath
-rapid heartbeat 
Should I be worried?

Answer

Sounds like anemia. Let your OB know at your next appt and she can check your H&H and RBC. If its low, she can put you on iron supplements. Or it can just be a normal third trimester thing 🤷‍♀️. I'm slightly anemic, which is kinda normal in pregnancy. But I've had the same symptoms

Answer

Have you been tested for anemia recently?  Sounds like that or dehydration.

Answer

This honestly seems fairly normal to me. I’ve had the fatigue and muscle fatigue since about 30ish weeks. Especially in my hands and feet. I’ve been told it’s all normal. Your heart rate naturally goes up during pregnancy, but id say if your resting rate is high consistently then call your doctor! Shortness of breath may be due to your uterus expanding into your diaphragm/lung space. If at all you feel uneasy don’t hesitate to call the doctor! :)

Answer

Any chance you’ve been exposed to covid? Sounds more like an illness than preterm labor signs.
