a bit short of breath

Has anyone else experience shortness of breath? Like when walkin and talking? sometimes I have to just take a deep breath in?
I sometimes walk up the stairs and my hearts pounding.
I used to have anxiety disorder but I've been sleeping and twice i have woke up panicing hyperventilating,
I'm a little scared.
Anyone else?

Yes i have been feeling that way for a couple weeks now. Im 14.5weeks pregnant with my second. The doc said it is perfectly normal its from the extra blood our bodies are producing. Half the time Im just sitting on the couch and it feels like i just ran a marathon.

I totally agree. I love to take long walks and as of late can't walk the same distance because of tiredness and shortness of breath. :(

I have the same problem! I'll be talking on the phone and get short of breath. Even sitting on the couch right now I'm breathing harder than I used to. It's supposedly normal.

It's crazy how you're body is doing that. People keep telling me all the symptoms should go away after 12 weeksish and I feel worse then before I'm constantly exhausted, drained and it doesn't help with the shortness of breath! Midwife tomorrow though so I'm going to discuss options as my work at work is terrible haha! Everyones so understanding but I can't afford not to work! eeeek good luck though x
On the plus side I felt a movement last night which was so lovely!!!
