A little out of breath?

plumeria05 · January 2016

im only 6w and earlier I was blow drying my hair and afterwards, I noticed that I was breathing a little harder than I normally do. I have long hair down to my back. Is anyone else this early in pregnancy having a little hard time breathing after doing something? It's also my first pregnancy and I'm kinda freaking out. Thanks in advance.

I doubt it's pregnancy related.
Maybe it's from overheating from the shower and blow drier...

I become breathless often but it did not start as early as 6 weeks. It was more like 11 weeks or so. I don't think it has anything to do with having long hair.

Thank you ladies. I texted my nurse and she said it wasn't normal so I'm sitting tight until my first ultrasound in a couple of days. Wish me luck.

I have found myself getting winded more easily (I am 8w4d). Yesterday I was breathing heavier after walking upstairs in our house, and DH said I'm going up the stairs for two now

. I hope everything goes well for you!

Wasn't normal? Hmm. My asthma flared up during pregnancy and got a lot worse towards the end. Good luck to you OP.

I started getting breathless as early as 6 weeks. I would notice if mostly after I climbed stairs. No worries, I'm almost 13 weeks now and still very breathless. You're body is pumping a lot of extra blood and your heart is doing a lot more work. In your case, you may have just been overheated (stay super hydrated!) but don't worry if you find yourself breathless doing things like climbing stairs in the future.

My asthma was really bad at the beginning, my doctor said it was most likely due to extra blood volume and bloat making it uncomfortable to breath. I did have a little extra bloat from IVF meds and 12 weeks of injectible progesterone.
She said as long as baby is getting plenty of oxygen then there was nothing to worry about. I hope everything turns out ok at your appt.

sorry, folks- it gets worse

I have been *slightly* out of breath off and on since getting pregnant. Now, at 28 weeks, I get out of breath talking on the damn phone.

It's annoying.

OP, I hope you are ok!
