Hey Ladies!!
This is my first post! I've been watching the board and reading how I have a lot of pregnancy symptoms just like other new mommies to be. But I've been noticing maybe for the past week that I get out of breath really easily. Talking is when I notice it more than anything. I'm considered overweight on the BMI chart, but not by much and I usually walk every night. Is anyone else like this? Isn't it a bit early? Especially because we aren't telling people for 4 more weeks, it happened yesterday when I was talking to my boss. He probably either thought I was nervous of having a heart attack!
Re: 8 weeks and out of breath
totally normal.

I have stairs in my house I am out of breath everytime I use them. Chores are a huge challenge.
With my last pg I started feeling the same way around the same time. I suffered with it for weeeeeeks (stupid, ugh), and then finally told my doctor about it. They immediately did a finger-stick, and lo and behold! I was severely anemic. The nurse actually told me she didn't know how I was conscious at that moment (and to be honest, I was thinking to myself that passing out sounded kind of nice). They switched me to a PNV with lots of iron and I was just fine. Well, not exactly...they made me kind of sick, but all for a good cause, right?
Definitely let your doc know about this!!

Another person confirming that this seems common... I noticed that I can't work out for as long at the gym. I just shortened the intensity on the treadmill and elliptical and it seems better. I can still do 45-60 minutes, but on level 2 now instead of level 7. Works for me!
