I'm week29+, EDD in sept 2016. Been experiencing sudden shortness of breath and dizziness. Tried 2 methods. (1) Inhale through nose and exhale from mouth deeply (2) Inhale and exhale from mouth Both methods didn't work well for me. Anyone out there experience the same stuff? Need to inform gynae about it?

During pregnancy, there is an increase of blood supply and at times, your body might not be able to keep up and pump blood fast enough to your brain, which can leave you feeling dizzy and faint.
