SOB and appetite in early pregnancy

hi everyone, just wondering if anyone else has been having difficulty catching their breath...i've been getting so short winded, shortness of breath (SOB)doing the simplest tasks including walking from the front of the house to the back and to and from the car at work...i don't have any other health conditions and am only 7w2d today...this started within the past week...i don't recall this happening when i was pregnant with my son...and it seems so early in pregnancy to be having this occur...do you think it's "normal"...any input would be appreciated. ALSO, i have been practically gorging on food, especially in the afternoons when i return home from work which is not good but i feel such an incredible urge to just keep eating...any advice on how to decrease those afternoon cravings? thanks for any advice:)

me too. i told them(doc nurse and anyone who would listen) i was always hungry and sleepy, if only i could perfect a way to eat while i sleep life would be awesome :P. i am short of breath too. the doc said it's fine. i am 7 weeks and 1 day with twins.

I have asthma, so my SOB is really unpredictable.  It has been worse the past week though and I am only 5 wks.  I thought it was just a coincidence, but maybe not.
As for the hunger, I was going to bed with hunger pains about 5 days before my period was even due which was really unusual for me...so I thought I may be pregnant and it turned out I was.  I normally only had 3 meels a day and I hardly ever ate after dinner.  Now I find I'm eating my 3 meels but I am snacking every 2 hours.  I am literally always hungry.  I eat a snack before I go to bed and I even wake up in the middle of the night very hungry.  My OBGYN says it is very normal to be this hungry this early.  Every women's system is different.  He said to drink lots of water, try water or fruit juice when I wake up at night (just don't drink too much juice too often because of the sugar, same with eating fruit) and don't be afraid to eat when I am hungry...hope this is a bit of a comfort!

haha i thought by SOB you meant son of a *****, anyway i dont recall getting short of breath until about 8 months, and that was the worst thing about the end of pregnancy (aside from the heartburn) but at 7w i dont see what could be going on to make you short of breath, i cant see the baby squshing your lungs just yet, i would call your doc and ask

I know when your pregnant your heart rate increases which could cause shortness of breath as well as your body working overtime. I also have shortness of breath that started a week or 2 ago. im 10 weeks pregnant. Plus im sick a few times week or once a day rather than all day like it has been since week 6. Although, i was HUNGRY every 3 hours for months and now it went away im only hungry a few times a day,. I hope everything is ok. I already heard the heartbeat 2 weeks ago and saw the baby.
