I'm Currently Feeling:  | Out of breath
Hi ladies!
I know that its no unusual to find yourself out of breath at times during pregnancy but I didnt expect to so soon.
Today a new member of staff started and I was running them through things and I noticed I was incredibly out of breath from simply speaking.
I was talking in depth and for some time and I found myself struggling to get though a few sentences without my pulse rate feeling to rise and becoming very out of breath.
I've only gained 5lbs so I'm not big yet.
I do not Google!! I'd rather get your opinions!!!
What do you think????

I'm Currently Feeling:  | It is normal to get breathless, as you're already using alot of energy to pump the extra blood round and stuff. Have you had any dizzy spells at all. Is you're skin paler than normal, or do you feel excessively tired (silly question  ) |

I do feel tired! I dont think I look paler - I still have a little colour from my jollies and I've not had any dizzy spells. I have had these swollen ankles though.
What are you thinking ??? |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I am and I am borderline aneamic anyway. When I used to go to donate blood they sometimes refused it as I was borderline.
I'm not due to see anyone no till I'm 22 weeks - do you think I should go to the Drs?? I did have iron tablets with Em. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I think you can just buy them over the counter can't you. If you've taken them before you'll probably remember what strength to get. The pharmacist could tell you, but they get a bit funny giving you stuff when you're preggers. |

I can ring them though between 8.30 and 9.30. I'll try to that but I had an assembly dumped on me last thing today so I might struggle..... 
If I dont manage to talk to them in the morning I should be able to catch them on weds.
