Breathless & Light headed

[newbie2009]

Any mum encounter this experience?

I have been getting breathless (like tightness in the chest), then seeing stars.

Is this normal? Any remedies? Does exercising help? Deep breathing?

Hi newbie2009,

Are you in your 3rd trimester now? I started to feel breathless and giddy from my 36 weeks onwards. I usually feel breathless if I walk too much or talk while standing. I usually feel giddy or see stars when I stand up immediately from a seat. I think it is normal for all pregnancy women unless you have anemia problem. Take a deep breath if you are feeling breathless and try to rest as much as you can.

i experience this from 6weeks till now 11weeks especially at night. my gynae said it's normal a it's the effect of hormonal changes, he told me not to use aircon and use fan.. it does help a little bit. and when the breathless is really bad i have to sit down, cos lie down will feel like chest more heavy.
