Anyones breathing change?

I know this may sound like a funny question but starting last weekend at 20 weeks I found that my breathing has changed a little bit. At times when I'm sitting just at my desk at work or resting at home it feels like I just climbed stairs, I'm seeing my doctor on Monday so I'll discuss it with him, but just wanted to see if anyone else felt it was "harder" to breath normally. I feel like the baby is pushing on my lungs...anyone else experience this?

Re: Anyones breathing change?

I do. All of your organs become increasingly compressed as the uterus grows. I get winded just talking sometimes.

Re: Anyones breathing change?

I feel that way sometimes. I did in the beginning, and then it went away. It came back within the last couple of weeks again (I'm 20 now, so maybe 18).

Re: Anyones breathing change?

Yes!!!!!

I am 35-36 weeks, and my breathing has been way different. I expect to be out of breath when actually doing stairs, but sometimes, even during a Braxton-Hicks, I will get short of breath. I know it is normal, just odd.

Re: Anyones breathing change?

Well i been feeling that way for about two weeks. I only have a couple more days to go.

Re: Anyones breathing change?

I have been feeling like that - and I am only 12 weeks. I think that it has to do with the hormones and the humidiity. I just feel like my lungs don't fill all the way sometimes. Very wierd.

Re: Anyones breathing change?

yup...i get winded very easily now...and if i eat too much i get winded as well

Re: Anyones breathing change?

i feel the same way and im only 15 1/2 weeks
I feel (sometimes) like I cant take a deep enough breath - I thought it was partly from the humidity but I guess not

Re: Anyones breathing change?

glad to hear I'm not alone, thanks

Re: Anyones breathing change?

I just noticed about a week or so ago that I get easily winded and I do feel shortness of breath even when I'm doing next to nothing. It's just the baby compressing everything upwards.

Re: Anyones breathing change?

I get out of breathe very easily too.

Re: Anyones breathing change?

I have had that since my BFP. I swear I feel like I smoke two packs a day- its awful. The doctor said its normal.

Re: Anyones breathing change?

Yes, I have it soooo bad right now, at a little over 30 weeks.

I had it for my last pg too. My most vivid memory of my c-section, was feeling the baby being pulled from my body and finally being able to get a "real" breath for the first time in weeks!!!!

I am looking forward to that again...

Re: Anyones breathing change?

I get winded very easily. I've never dealt with this before, and it started a few weeks after my BFP. I'm 13weeks now, and I'm getting used to it.

Re: Anyones breathing change?

I have had it for a couple of weeks now and I am only 11 weeks along.
