tired and short of breath

[StranjeGirl]

I feel like I am at a high altitude or something. There are times where after standing for a few minutes I have no energy and am short of breath and need to sit down. Is this normal? I remember having this with my first pregnancy, but I was like 7 months pregnant. I don't think I am anemic or anything as I had blood work done at the end of last year and everything was perfect. Anyone else get this? Thanks!

Yeah, I constantly feel that I'm short of breath! It is so frustrating! Initially I thought it was because I have asthma, so I just kept taking my asthma inhaler more and more. Until I realized I wasn't feeling any better after inhaling, so it couldn't be the asthma. I'm getting completely desperate because of that, but there's little I can do right now. I have an appointment with my GP in 10 days because of this. Good luck

8 Weeks and tired and breathless too! I'm putting it down to organs pushing around knocking off my diaphragm

It is normal, unfortunately. it's more due to hormones than things being pushed around this early. I know it sucks!!!

Thanks ladies. Glad to know it's nothing bad! Wish it would go away though!

Yup, I'm with you! I'm 8 weeks today and had lots of shortness of breath through the day. So tired I dozed off at work oops!

Hopefully it'll improve for a while before getting back to feeling out of breath. I was really short of breath around week 7-9 too, the last couple of weeks have been much better. Yesterday I start feeling dizzy again and I don't recall being dizzy so early on last time. I'm 13 weeks. A couple days ago I started feeling like I can't take a full breath again.
