ROFL @ first trier who has shortness of breath!

  • I actually had this from weeks 6-9. My doctor said it's because your blood flow is increasing and causing your organs to work harder. Just saying....

  • Good lord.....they are going to have a very long 9 months.....
  • Linky?

    Actually, the diaphragm does begin to move before the baby even gets big enough to press on it. So I don't think she's making it up (unless she's like 15dpo or something...).

    I experienced early shortness of breath and my dr told me this was common. It was surprising and freaky since obviously I wasn't expecting it to happen.

  • I hear ya, EFLO... poor thing has no idea what she's in for..

    Just like MOD and lbitz are probably like, the beeches have no clue what it's like to have an 8-9 lb bee bee pushing on them!!!  LOL

  • I just started with this last week.  I can barely stand to drive in my car, everytime I'm driving I feel like baby is crushing my lungs.

  • I'm not saying a little sob isn't uncommon in first trimester but nothing bad enough to complain about!  I can't even imagine how I'm going to breathe a few weeks from now it's so bad!
  • ditto this. this is why women get dizzy/light headed during 1st tri. in fact i was more out of breath at the end of my first tri then i was in my third tri. i haven't even gotten dizzy in my third tri yet.

  • I think it's the four-weeker that really cracked me up with her shortness of breath taking out the laundry.
