we're on 3rd fl and basement is where laundry is. i cant make it up 3 flights anymore w/o feeling out of breath. even the other night DH and i were getting busy and i had to push him off b/c i felt l couldnt breath (believe me i wasnt doing much at the time either)

Yeah, I hear you there, but I think it's because I've been so tired lately I haven't been working out.  Fat and outta shape here!

It is just another wonderful pregnancy symptom. As if feeling fat from being bloated isn't enough, we can hardly do a flight of stairs.

oh Lord. I hope my condo sells quick! If I cant handle the 3rd floor at 10 wks I'll pass out trying to go up at 30 wks!

Yes, I have been getting VERY out of breath. It's almost pathetic! I frequently complain to my mother and she just reminds me how every single second, cells are dividing so that my baby can grow, and my uterus continues to expand. It is all very exhausting. It takes a toll on your body..

I was like that from before my bfp to about a week ago. I'm fine now.

I was walking up a small hill (It was really an easy incline) in San Francisco with my DH on Sunday and I got out of breath!  I commented about it to him and he just laughed.

Yes, I feel like I can hardly get a sentence out. I feel like I sound like an idiot. Went shopping w/ SIL last week and had to stop every once in a while b/c I was getting light headed, too.  Yay progesterone!

Yup!  And it only gets worse the bigger you get!

I think it has to do with the extra blood circulating through your body. At this point we have 25% more blood than we used to before baby. You're not alone.

This.

 Because of all the extra blood in your body, your lungs have to work harder to get oxygen into all of it.  You feel out of breath much faster.  I have had that for about two weeks now.

I notice it mostly when I'm outside walking (speed walking) my dog and trying to talk on my cell phone. I get winded easily these days.

I find myself getting short of breath at school.  When I teach I find it harder to walk around and read at the same time.  Now I sit when I read.  I heard it gets better in the 2nd and then worse in the 3rd.
