Feeling heavy already

Hi,Iam in 18th week of my first pregnancy and already feeling very heavy and out of breath. I've gained 2kg till now. I do a desk job, so sit most of the day. I try to walk after dinner, but could not do more than 15 min. Can anyone advise me how to handle this....

I am 20 weeks and the same! I have gained 2.5kg but feel enormous! I am all belly! I too try to walk as often as i can but i get so sore and short of breath. 1/2an hour is the longest i can walk. I am gonna keep at it tho cuz i know it is good for me and the baby. The baby may shift soon for either one of us and that will make it easier to breathe...but it may just get more crowded too, making it harder to breathe! But it is normal!
