Difficult breathing!!

I just want to know am I the only one that has trouble catching my breath or become winded very quickly by doing just a lil movement?

Re: Difficult breathing!!

  • I have the same problem.
  • for me I've found its certain activities that get me. walking up a hill: forget it. stairs: I take a deep breath at the top of each flight and I'm usually good to go.

    Oh and arguing with DH about my being able to do

  • I was told by a friend that this happens because my diaphragm is a bit compact now or my uterus is inlarging possibly pushing on my lungs...
  • I have that issue. I feel better after seeing my neuromuscular therapist and she lengthens by body back out. Climbing stairs is the worst!

  • I get that way if I'm moving too quickly or taking a few flights of stairs... Usually goes away pretty quick tho.
  • I am getting short of breath when transferring patients. I was really shocked because this didn't happen until well into my second trimester the first time. It takes me a surprising long time to catch my breath again too.

  • Yes!  Doing the stairs, especially with baskets of laundry from the basement to the 2nd floor!  I feel COMPLETELY out of shape!
