tight chest when i wake up, any ideas?
hi i am 18 weeks and have a really tight chest, quite hard to breathe only when i wake up, but i am fine after 10 mins or so and dont think i have this feeling any other time of the day? i didnt have this last time i was preg and certainly wasnt breathless until much later on in pregnancy, does anyone know if this is normal for pregnancy or what it could be a sign of? im not sure if i should see a doctor or a midwofe, whwther its preg related or some other medical thinkg where i should see a doctor?.. i have had it about a month now, maybe more, and dont get it every morning, but most mornings, i have tried not wearing a bra etc incase its that, and its also happened when sleeping in differnt rooms so its not to do with temperature, heating etc..anyone any ideas?

I was also anaemic and kept getting the shortness of breathe and tiredness until I started taking iron tablets... you should have a blood test fairly regularly when you see the midwife.
Good luck xx
