First time pregnancy, lots of worries! Two questions

[Melinda0319]

I have the worst OB and currently in the middle of trying to switch. I haven't been able to ask anything without him jumping on me. I have questions, and haven't had answers, and don't have anyone else to give me their input. First off, Sunday will be 17 weeks. My breathing is terrible! Going up the stairs. Walking down the road. Anything, I feel like I need an inhaler.. Has anyone else experience this? Also, I was a former smoker, quit smoking the day the pregnancy test came back positive. About three months now. I don't know if this can factor in.
Second question I have, is I was being monitored for elevated blood pressure. Running around 136/86 the last week or so, mine has dropped to around 110/76 to 120/76. I have major anxiety so of course I just automatically think something is worse, even though, blood pressure is good. Is a blood pressure drop Okay at this point or starting at 16 weeks?
Sorry if it's annoying! Major worrier here. Hopefully I will get a new doctor soon to help with these questions!

The breathing problem is probably due to quitting smoking and even non pregnant quitters get it. Obviously being pregnant has it's effect as well as now your body need to support not just you but the baby as well, so you breathe more oxygen and  release more carbon dioxide.

At every appt your health provider should monitor your BP. 110/76 to 120/76 is a good result and you only need to worry if it starts going very high. Then you will be treated with medicines and that should keep it on track.

Hey i have a terrible doctor too, and unfortunately i cant switch because there are no other obgyns in my area that accept new patients. I also have the breathing problem and did some research and asked my family and it seems to be a normal thing in pregnancy. Your rib cage is adjusting for your growing uterus and also youre breathing way more oxygen now even though you feel like youre not getting enough. dont worry about it, i heard it gets better in the third trimester.
About the blood pressure, its normal that your blood pressure gets lower during pregnancy, especially second trimester.
Good luck x
