I am only 9 weeks but I went to the dr today and that is one of the things I asked her. She said it is because of all the extra blood that is going through your pregnant body (extra 50%) and the dizziness is mainly from hormones changing or being produced. I asked her a lot of questions today. lol. Try bending slower. Good luck!!!!

I also seem to be more out of breath, and dizzy. Your not alone

Are you having or did you have morning sickness...I know you're past the point where it usually goes away, but I've had problems staying hydrated due to severe morning sickness. I too have experienced the extream out of breathness and dizziness but the point I was getting at was that the spots and dizziness can be due to lack of water. Not sure if that applies to you or not but I know that's what makes black out when I stand up. I would definatly ask your doctor as soon as possible though cuz I know they don't like you to be seeing spots or blacking out...if I were you I would call and talk to them about it as soon as you can. Best of luck

I'm 18 weeks and I get out of breath a lot too. I find that I just have to take the stairs slower, and take breaks from housework more often. Sometimes I get into bed out of breath and my husband will wonder what's wrong with me. *L* I read that hormones make us breathe deeper and faster, so it feels like we're out of breath cuz we're breathing differently than we're used to. Just going slower and trying to relax more often has seemed to help me. I'd talk to your dr about the spots though, like moodyturtle said, it can be from different things, some serious. So check to be sure.

I am also 23 weeks and I do get out of breath really quick and easy.My heart beats really fast too at times.

I am SOB a lot! Not only that, if I sneeze now, I have to stop and hold my pee!!!!

That (being short of breath) was happening to me a lot around the same time in my pregnancy. The funny thing is that I'm 32 weeks now and am less short of breath than I was then. Maybe our bodies are just adjusting to the extra weight. I might ask your dr. about the dizziness and seeing spots.

later in pregnancy its normal for you to get your breath back once the baby drop,s away from pushing on your diaphragm. =)
did for me until i got the preeclampsia.

oh yes my love and it doesnt get better! i am 26 weeks and i definately get out of breathe very often.

I am just 5 weeks and I was complaining about that to the other day. It just seems weird to me that I loose my breathe that easily..

Just slow down a little bit. It's because you are carrying another life in you. I read up and asked my Dr. the same thing.

I was out fo breath easily all the way up until the baby dropped about 2 weeks ago. It's only going to get worse though as you get further along. Hang in there though and know that it DOES get better :)

As your baby grows it is putting more pressure on your lungs and this is what makes it hard for you to breath, i have had this trouble since i was around 24 weeks, try bending slower and dont get up so fast, when you sleep try and sleep on your left side it helps you breath,if you lay on your back, it puts more pressure on your lungs and reduces the oxygen flow to the baby it is nothing to worry about i am sure u will be fine dont worry. good luck x x
