out of breath?

Hey you guys so is it normal to feel out of breath when doing literally the smallest things? ?? When i get up to go to the bathroom I'm so out of breath and it takes me forever to breath normal.  Does anyone else have this issue? ? I'm only 12 weeks so I'm not even big but having that issue just makes me feel huge :(

I had this issue and went to the ER they told me I most likely had what's called costochondritis which can be caused by straining your chest or having an infection.  Really scary if I got out of bed to go to the bathroom I experienced labored breathing. Didn't experience any other symptoms other than breathlessness and mild chest pain. Make sure that your not lifting anything heavy

I am only 15 weeks pregnant and very breathless at times.  I can't even go through the song twinkle twinkle little star for my daughter!

It's normal,  you have more blood circulating then normal causing extra work for your heart and lungs.  Plus your growing a human so that takes a lot out of you.
