shortness of breath?

[buo92]

Im on week 8. Due June 3 with first child. I have been feeling my heart raising a lot lately. Even when im just sitting. Also shortness of breath. Is this normal?

I too am 8 weeks and have been short of breath for weeks! Glad to know I am not alone.  I though i was just super out of shape when washing my hair makes me pant!

I'm also 8 weeks with our first and am also experiencing the same symptoms.  I have read that it's normal.....

I am going thru the same thing and wondered this myself...thanks ladies

Yes, it is normal. My doctor told me it is from all of the hormones in pregnancy. I would make sure to bring it up with your doctor to discuss feeling short of breath vs actually being short of breath so you know when or if you need to get help
But rest assured, it's those hormones

Yes it is. Don't worry
