Pregnancy - Teens Support Group
This community is dedicated to the experience of being pregnant as a teenager. Pregnant teenagers face many of the same obstetrics issues as women in their 20s and 30s.

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? I know it's normal later on because of the baby pushing on organs etc but I'm 9 weeks and have been breathless now for about 5 weeks.. any ideas?

It's pretty normal. I think I read it is because of hormones, much like every other symptom is due to hormones. But your not the only one. I'm 10 weeks and feel out of breath from walking up the stairs. So don't worry

hmmm it gets worst latter on. You basically need more oxygen in pregnancy, your lungs work harder and your heart pumps more blood. It is common to get breathless a lot. 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.

I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
