Trouble breathing?

I am just about 22 weeks along and for the last couple of days I have been having trouble breathing. I feel like I am constantly winded and out of breath as if I just exercised. Just wanted to throw that out there and see if this is normal or should I talk to my doctor about it.  Thoughts?

    I felt that way too. At first I just felt pressure on my lungs, like it was hard to breath. My dr said thats normal. But then I started to really feel winded, as you said. It got to the point where raising up my arms to do my hair was too much. So the dr took a blood test and sure enough I was anemic. My levels were low and my dr said I needed to take iron supplements. They helped, but it took a couple weeks for me to feel better. Good luck!

    It's normal as your organs start getting pushed up as baby grows. That said, definitely talk to your doc about it. Like PP said, it could be something else you may want to know about, like anemia, but I'm sure it's ok!
