Out of breath

[Tiffy]

I have found myself out of breath from walking, when I usually would be absolutely fine.
Is this all a part of the 1st tri, or am I just getting out of shape?

It's all part and parcel of being pregnant! My uterus is up by my rib cage at the mo so that makes me so out of breath walking up hill!

I suppose it makes sense. I have been out of breath too. So I thought about it....lol

If you're blood volume increases then surely you would need to breath more to oxygenate it all.......maybe?

Either that, Or I am very un-fit......walking the dog though the forest wears me out.

I noticed that too.
Once i get out of breath, i start to feel very woozy and light-headed!
I think it's all normal though, hun!

it's perfectly normal. I often felt like I couldnt breathe and my doc said to lay down when this happened and just try and relax
