Anyone else out of breath?

The last few days, well since I hit week 12, I've been feeling so out of breath anytime I climb a simple set of stairs or walk a fair amount. It takes me a few minutes to catch my breath; I feel winded! Is this normal? I don't know if it's the pregnancy, me getting out of shape since I've been too tired to work out, or a health problem. Anyone else experiencing this?

I've had this too, since about week 10. My doctor said it could be from organs rearranging or just because oxygenated blood is headed towards the baby, and there's not as much for you. Either way, it's uncomfortable!

Yes and it makes me so nervous. I get winded going up and down the stairs now. It's crazy!

Definitely a symptom of pregnancy!  Just give yourself a little extra time and go a little slower if needed.  :)

Thank you! I feel much better about it now. I was worried something was wrong with me and was going to call my doctor in the morning. I have an appointment for my annual physical in a week and a half so it's good to know I can wait to talk to her about it then and it's not an emergency. I get so paranoid when it comes to my health and the health of my LO. Thanks again!

Me.  I have asthma and I have been thinking about going to the doctor, because I have to run after my two kids and it is getting hard for me to do so.

I'm so glad someone else is going through this. I get out of breath if i walk fast. I've always been pretty athletic but since Ive been pregnant im too tired to work out. Its crazy how quick I get out of breath.
