Shortness of Breath

[*Jessica*]

Hi girls,

Just curious if anyone else has experienced shortness of breath so early in pregnancy.

I am just sitting here at work and finding it a little difficult to breath (nothing to stress about, its just something I have noticed). Like I need to take deeper breaths to satisfy my lungs? Hope that makes sense.

Was hoping others could share their experiences on this one - I didnt expect shortness of breath so early on!

I was actually getting breathless from quite early on too. I'm not sure exactly how early though, but it kind of bothered me a bit too. Sometimes I kind of have to stop in the middle of talking to take a breath (no jokes please LOL!!). And sometimes I just feel like I'm simply not getting enough air if that makes sense???

Mention it to your OB/GP as always if you're worried, but to answer your question, yes, I did start get it earlier than what I would have reasonably expected!
