  Thank you! I did Google and it figured out it was pretty normal but wanted to check here to make sure I wasn't the only one! My boss has had 5 kids so I figured she might know something! Clearly I was wrong about that! Truthfully she has done nothing but pick on me since she found out I was pregnant so I don't know why I chose to listen to her today!

  I went to a concert yesterday and had to go up some pretty steep stairs (around 30-40). My husband was really concerned about how winded I got so we did a quick google search and also found out it appears normal! Pre-pregnancy, I would have gotten a little short of breathe but this really surprised me!

  ..... I wasn't in the greatest shape before pregnancy, like 10lbs over weight. I'm sure that also has something to do with it...?

  I was washing my dog the other day, and I was out of breath for about 5 minutes.  You'd think I ran 8 miles or something.

  I had it earlier in this pregnancy and noticed it more climbing stairs. I don't get it often now. I poo poo your boss for suggesting something to be wrong. I hope she was genuinely concerned and not just flapping her gums.

  I get really short of breath while pregnant. I assume it's because I'm very short waisted (there's like an inch between my hips and the bottom of my ribcage), so there's not a lot of room in my torso and my lungs get super squished by my uterus. Sitting up extra straight helps me a lot.
  
  But for future reference, if Google tells you that a symptom is normal, you can be sure that means you're not the only one!

  Being short-waisted definitely does not help. In third tri, I I always felt out of breath, even when I wasn't doing anything. I remember how much easier breathing was immediately after delivery, it was such a surprising feeling.
