22 weeks, shortness of breath

[RainbowDrop_x]

Is anyone else experiencing this?

It doesn't surprise me giving there's a little human inside me, particularly if I'm going up the stairs or I'm walking but I've started to experience it whilst just sitting down doing nothing. I'm not experiencing any pain so I'm not overly concerned I just wondered if it was normal to experience it whilst being chilled out

I get short of breath doing nothing too. I asked the midwife about it a few weeks ago and apparently it's normal.

It is normal in pregnancy. However, mine is associated with pregnancy AMD pregnancy induced tachycardia. That is where your heart beats over 100 beats per minute on a normal basis. I get "attacks" where my heart races and I get short of breath. If you don't feel your heart racing, it is normal pregnancy stuff. If you do, talk to your doctor about it because it could be a sign of tachycardia (needs to be monitored).

I get the same thing. I also get tachycardic too with the mildest of moves

Oh yes, I feel like I weigh a ton and doing small things is breath taking!
