Out of breath

Im only 9w and I find myself sometimes short of breath! Usually after I eat or if I'm moving around the house cleaning. I would expect this at 30 weeks not 9w. Anyone else experiencing this?

    I was so worried - thought I was the only one dealing with this! I have complicated ENT issues so thought that could be behind the sudden breathlessness, but then I found out I'm pregnant and it seems the pregnancy has caused it! Have you had your iron levels checked? Low iron can make you pretty breathless too. I'm waiting for my results to see what comes back! Hope you feel better soon, but why not try yoga breathing exercises for pregnancy, they're supposed to help quite a bit.

    Never would have thought about iron.  Thanks for the advice!  I'm switching to a RX prenatal vitamin as my OTC doesn't have iron in it.  Now that I'm pregnant my dr is switching me to RX. Wish I'd known before I bought a ton of OTC bottles on sale. :)

    I'm a few days over 9weeks also and having the same issues. Walking up steps is the worse. I read this is normal and only will get worse as the baby grows and pushes on your lungs.
