    breathlessness in late pregnancy is quite common as the baby grows and takes up space that your lungs would normally have. But as always if you are worried then it's always worth mentioning to your midwife to rule out any other reason.

    Thanks. I think bub has changed position so it might be getting closer to my lungs. I think i read that when bubs are in anterior position, you get more rib action so maybe my attemps at optimal fetal positioning are doing something?

    i'm seeing my midwife Saturday and will run it by her.
