hopefully someone has heard of this?

I had my prenatal last week and I mentioned to the doctor sometimes I'm having muscle weakness (added on to the fact I'm super exhausted physically and mentally this whole pregnancy) She said because I'm anemic I should try taking two iron pills a day instead of one. Alrighty then. For the last 4 days i keep having sessions where my muscles get completely weak and I feel like my body is not getting enough air. So I take a few deep breaths, but it doesn't really seem to help. It just keeps happening whenever throughout the day. I'm 32 Weeks pregnant, has anyone else experienced this?

Update! Found out the cause. I have zero b12 and that carries oxygen on blood cells. I'm now getting weekly injections

I had that my whole pregnancy never figured out what it was though ?

I was having muscle weakness in my legs and my doctor suggested I take iron and calcium. Maybe speak to your doctor and see if adding calcium could help your muscle weakness.

I did. No matter the position it was like my lungs weren't getting enough oxygen. No idea what it was. Ds is 4 weeks tomorrow and still when I pat his back to burp him, it's like my wrist goes weak and I don't have the muscle to keep rhythm. Sorry I'm no help but I had/have the same thing

It honestly just sounds like anemia.

I'm hoping it's Just the anemia, but its kind of scary when It happens.

Oh, I feel you. I had the same thing after my c-section (they didn't give me blood like they should have) and I felt weak for a long long time. It unfortunately takes awhile to fix with iron supplementing.

Yes I've been on iron for Atleast 12 weeks now. It's just weird feeling weak out of no where like I'm not getting enough air

Bump

Thank you for sharing. Did you find out through a blood test? Have the injections helped?

My doctor mentioned b12 too.

Yes they blood tested
