Interesting sensation...

I just experienced something new and intriguing: lots of baby movement, followed by a strong Braxton-Hicks, followed immediately by heart palpitations and shortness of breath which lasted for about 5-10 secs, followed by baby hiccuping like mad.

My husband is concerned. I am not. Who is right?

Wow -- that's a lot all at once!  I wouldn't be concerned, though, unless the heart palpitations and shortness of breath continue.  I know when I get BH, I sometimes have a "tightening" sensation in my lungs.

OK -- I only started getting BH like last week, and this was definitely the most noticeable one, so I am new to it all. I am not worried -- I should probably refrain from telling DH about things like this, though.

My BH are very often accompanied by heart palpitations and shortness of breath. I wouldn't worry about it.

I got super out of breath while brushing my teeth today. Very weird, but all my mommy friends say its totally normal for these strange things to happen. Considering they are all still alive, i'm just gonna take their word for it.
