    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Respiratory Medicine
    • Women's Health

    Background:

    • Dyspnoea is a common symptom during pregnancy.
    • Understanding its prevalence and progression is crucial for maternal care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the incidence, severity, and time-course of dyspnoea throughout normal pregnancy.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective observational study involving 62 pregnant women.
    • Assessment of dyspnoea on eight occasions during pregnancy.
    • Comparison with the nonpregnant state.

    Main Results:

    • 15% of women reported increased dyspnoea in the first trimester.
    • Nearly 50% experienced dyspnoea before 19 weeks gestation.
  • 76% reported dyspnoea by 31 weeks gestation, with minimal increase thereafter.

    • Conclusions:

    • Dyspnoea commonly develops during pregnancy, often starting early.
    • The symptom's progression tends to stabilize in the third trimester.
