Pretty sure everyone who's ever been pregnant has experienced shortness of breath.

She was only trying to help, and don't blame lack of education on your phone. I was going to stay out of this one, but there was no need for you to get rude.

Since 7 weeks. I thought I was super special.

sineadcullen20 · February 2015

Well Id like to hear some mothers say how the feel , makes me feel like I'm not alone when I hear it from others, as I don't know a lot of pregnant women to talk to and im clueless as this is my first baby.

finallyourturn2 · February 2015

My first baby too. I'm not clueless though. I read, and do research...a lot. I even use google occasionally.

Google can be useful sometimes but I think some things aren't always right when I search things up so I thought I'd put it up here and hear what the mothers have to say.

So you don't think that the internet can be accurate, but you want to ask a bunch of strangers who have no medical knowledge.

Any internet/book source will tell you that shortness of breath is an extremely common pregnancy symptom. Now if the internet told you it was common for your fingers to fall off during pregnancy, I would take that with a grain of salt.

Engineer81 · February 2015

Ask your doctor. Or get a pregnancy book.

sineadcullen20 · February 2015

You'd get more of an accurate answer on this since it's all about pregnancy than you would on Google, so I decided I'll start an discussion ! I know it's a common symtom but I've never spoke to anyone who has experienced it so I thought here would be my best option ☺️ .

deeohgee · February 2015

If you actually used this app and all its features, you would see it has a list of pregnancy symptoms, and all categorized into each week of pregnancy! Yay, technology!

TamaraAlexiaRose · February 2015

Way to give positive support and feedback (some people)!
But speaking for myself, I get shortness of breath, while laying or sitting in certain positions, your obviously not alone in experiencing this symptom. It's very uncomfortable.

erwallace089 · February 2015

I feel ya girl! Definitely have this symptom along with loads of others! Not usually the same time of day. I totally can't tie my shoes anymore because I feel faint just doing that haha! Don't worry you are not alone

torileea · February 2015

Mines usually like that in the morning never experienced with my first. So weird

takerany · February 2015

I wake up around the same time, hot and short of breath every single night. Worst symptom ever

StowerBaby · February 2015

I get this too usually when I first lie down to go to sleep especially more so when I lay on my left side. Sometimes I get some heart palpitations with it. We're nearly there!

ngolimento · February 2015

This is such a common symptom, and written all over anything that has to do with pregnancy. You might as well ask if getting a bigger stomach is normal.

Akrystofiak · February 2015

I'm still trying to figure out how this forum is a better resource than say.... The national institute of health or the Mayo Clinic's website.

When I say Google I don't mean randomly pick something that pops up. I mean look at what comes up, find a reputable one and read it.

What do you think happens to your lungs as the baby grows?

Because this one compares babies to FRUIT.

And this week mine is the size of a durian and I don't know what that is! I'm going to ask my doctor!

Malimena26 · February 2015

hah I feel like putting on my winter boots in an Olympic event - hang in there girl! It's just the babes pushing on your diaphram/lungs and taking up your room lol.

Mine too! Good thing I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow... I'm going to ask my doc if it's normal.

A durian looks like it will hurt to deliver. Hopefully it stays in there, and becomes an easier fruit to pass through my vajayjay.

secretbaba · February 2015

No but seriously - what the actual hell is a durian??? Google wouldn't tell me much and my husband thinks it looks like the top of a medieval mace...

It's a seriously disgusting fruit. Smells like the dirtiest feet or rotten something gross. I've heard it doesn't taste much different. After smelling it in a market once I wouldn't get close enough to even taste the thing.

Durian smells like something died and rotted for a few days. Someone decided to taste it to be sure, and it ended up being delicious. It's a delicacy. Asians are very experimental with their food.
