Yes, it is normal. You have 25 - 40 % more blood in your body when pregnant so your heart and lungs have to work a lot harder to pump it around your body. Also as you get further along your lungs can get squished due to baby and uterus moving up. I'm short so I feel like this happened earlier for me than someone who is taller.

Thanks!! Good to know.... I don't know why I never payed attention to these things before.... Or maybe they never happened. This is my 3rd pregnancy and I feel so aware of everything !!
