Breathless at week 29

I'm been getting breathless, like taking deep breaths but doesn't seem to help much and heart is pumping very fast. I'm expecting twins and doctor has found that my red blood count has dropped and I'm on iron pill supplement (which helped for the past 3 weeks). But now I'm back to being very breathless again. Any mummy experienced this and how did u deal with it? Did anyone do oxygen supplementation?

Hi mummy, I understand how scary this must feel, especially carrying twins. Since you're back to being very breathless even on iron supplements, this one better not wait - please call your doctor or go to A&E now to get checked. It could be many things, but with your heart pumping fast and twins on board, you need proper assessment today rather than trying to manage at home. Wishing you all the best.
