Good Morning ladies!
I am an instructor and facilitate a government program, the last few days I have noticed that I get completely winded when talking to my class! This never happened pre-pregnancy or in early, early pregnancy, but all of a sudden this last week I feel like I am up there running a marathon and I can't catch my breathe... any other teachers or presenters feel this way too. I have my 14w appointment today and am going to ask my doc, but just thought I would ask all you ladies too.
Thanks!

I'm a Sociology Professor and I haven?t noticed any short-windedness during my lectures. But if I have to move around very suddenly- like up stairs, or very brisk walking (like when I'm racing across campus to make it to my next class in time) I get an intense, pounding headache. I always begin each class with terrible pain in my temples- not fun!
Hang in there!
Sometimes, but not much. Just read in my What to Expect book the other night that some mom's may feel this way and that it's normal. (That's what my book said, so don't quote me.)
I just looked it up (pg. 202-203). It says we can blame the hormones. And the uterus since it pushes up against the diaphragm as it grows. Also to only worry about this feeling if your lips or fingertips seem to be turning bluish or have chest pain and a rapid pulse.
Geez, what a book worm.
