Hey sorry if I've already posted this, I thought I had but can't find it anywhere :S Anyhoo I was just wondering if any of you suffered from breathlessness in EARLY pregnancy?

You may also feel like you aren't getting enough air in, this is very common to. the best thing for when you feel like this it to sit down and rest for a few moments.

It's pretty normal and it does usually get worse as the baby grows and squishes up your organs. However if you feel PAIN AND SHORTNESS OF BREATH call your doc right away.
