Short of breath

I am 20w4d and am sooooo very short of breath. Its getting really uncomfortable. When I go to yawn or take a deep breath in, its like my stomache wont fully let me and it kind of hurts or is like a stinging pain. Is this normal???

Same here. As your uterus grows, everything gets pushed up in to your lungs.

Ugh I knew the feeling i'm 21 Weeks and work in a call center. It's really sad when you have to mute the phone just to breathe! Lol I've been told it will just get worse, but my little man is so worth it.

Ugh I'm getting the same thing and I'm 16w4d. It makes you feel so miserable and the only relief for me is laying down.
