Racing heart? Shortness of breath? Leg/foot cramps?

in 1st Trimester

I would normally associate these symptoms with being dehydrated, but man, with all the water I've been drinking lately (about 1-2 liters a day and no soda with very little other caffeine) I can't imagine it's from lack of hydration!  

The leg/foot cramps I'm noticing if I stand for too long and then come home to relax on the couch, that's when they creep up on me.  The racing heart I'm having for no apparent reason, I just ate, I'm resting and working on the computer, etc.  

From all the things I've read lately it sounds like anything goes with pregnancy so I am assuming these are all normal symptoms and I'm not really worried, was just curious who else might be experiencing them?

    I have been having leg/back pain.  Almost like I get on the first day of AF.  Didn't have this with DD#1.  The positive is that usually it will last for a week or so. everyone is diferent though. Oh, and I had ankle pain so bad last night... so random! hahah

    I've been having the shortness of breath. I don't rmember getting it with DS until my belly was huge and everything waqs squished.  I have to stop and take deep breaths. Kind of annoying and even somewhat scary at times.

    Yes, Yes and Yes.

    I get all three.  Shortness of breath only seems to come at night when I get up to go to the bathroom... maybe its a body at rest and then moving too fast thing.... ahhh the never ending joys of pregnancy.

    Me! I asked the nurse about it this week when I went for my u/s. I thought it may be the new meds they put me on, but she said it is because of all the extra blood that is now circulating in our bodies. I also gained like 10 freakin lbs of water weight in 1 week also.
