24 weeks

Hi all,

This is my first pregnancy and was just wondering when the appointments with docs start going from once a month to once every two weeks?

I also find it hard to breathe...is that normal at this stage? Mentioned it to my doc but he didn't seem concerned. I work part-time but after walking or eating, i find it hard to breathe. I thought this happened in the last trimester?

usually it's after week 30 or 32 that you go to every 2 weeks, unless there are complications. i went every two weeks right from the start with both my pregnancies...

i had the same feeling when breathing as you do, it wasn't a problem, merely that there wasn't much space for the lungs...

Thanks Cara, good to know t's around 30 weeks. Just thought breathlessness was meant to start much later!
