  If you're struggling while you're just sitting, maybe consider calling your OB?

  I can't lay on my back, and I get out of breath a lot faster doing any sort of physical activity.. but unless I'm having a hot flash of some sort, I'm ok when I'm sitting on my butt.

  I am. I'm just sitting at my desk and I'm having trouble getting a full breath in.

  I lean back in my chair and concentrate on in-and-out deep breaths.

  I'm a little spacey when I climb stairs. If I end up on my back at night I wake up gasping, which is scary. I don't know of any ways to deal with it so I just try to be concious of it.

  Your blood could be low in iron. It's worth bringing up to your doctor at your next appointment.

  Yes, my ob told me it was completely normal. In fact, there is a name for it (which escapes me), but it is normal. Mine usually lasts a couple days and then I'm fine again. Hopefully you are able to catch your breath soon!
