Things that make me winded...

Re: Things that make me winded...

  • Sweeping my floor. Holy cow, I need an oxygen tank right now. 
  • Loading the player...
  • Rolling the trash out to the curb. DH nearly came home to find it abandoned in the middle of the yard!
  • I ran up and down the stairs the other day to grab a cup. 

    Singing long and drawn out notes while listening to music in the car. 
  • vacuuming 
    And then there were three...


  • Yelling. Yesterday I was mad at H because I don't even remember (pregnancy rage) and I had to stop mid sentence because I was winded.
  • Using a ladder to get out of the natural spring we swam at today. It was only a few rungs but I was exhausted trying to haul myself up onto the dock from the water.

  • Getting up to go pee at night.

  • Walking into the bank, folding laundry, eating rice...
  • Eating too quickly.  Walking around my house.  Going up the stairs, especially w/laundry.

    Almost always mobile bumping--forgive my typos. :)
  • Lol @adorebella I was on a conference call the other day and speaking for long periods of time. I felt like I was gasping for air through most of it. I kept thinking, "these people on the other end (never met me in person) probably think I'm obese and/or a heavy smoker." Embarrassing. 
  • Earlier on literally just standing there - not even talking - was enough to make me winded. Thankfully that's gone away more recently.

  • Everything apparently. Any time I answer the phone the person on the other end goes "were you running?" Or something to that end. 
  • Also, shaving my legs.

  • Talking and walking at the same time.

  • Everything. Literally everything. Then if I do too much, I can't breathe and my stomach gets tight. Joys of pregnancy.

  • My office is on the second floor...to say I hate the stairs first thing in the morning is an understatement. I think an O2 mask should drop from the ceiling. But I refuse to take the elevator or to give up my heels...I'll probably cave on the elevator in a few months though. :)

  • Carrying groceries up the stairs.... I had to go grocery shopping for the first time by myself on Friday. (also the first day I am able to see and feel a hard bump)

    Usually I'm the "carry us much as you can, cut off circulation to your arms if you have, instead of making two trips!"

    Nope.

    Took me at least 4 trips to get everything up stairs. And omg... I was so tired. It makes a big difference when I can't balance heavy stuff against my stomach....

  • @LoneStar21416 omg yes! When I get new clients (like the 3 I'm getting today) I have to do a whole explanation of policy and treatment which leaves me totally winded. They must think I'm super nervous or something.

  • Simply standing in front of the mirror getting ready in the morning. Raising my arms above my head to dry my hair. It's ridiculous.

  • Going up and down the stairs in my house. I have 3 separate flights of stairs (each only 6 steps) (I have a quad level home) Just doing 6 steps I have to go sit down because I am out of breathe & or heart rate is high. I was way way out of shape (and heavier) with my first pregnancy and I never was this out of breathe so every pregnancy is different.

  • I work on the third floor and there is no elevator. I have to take rests on the first and second floor on the way up. its ridiculous!


  • Reading all of the comments, I literally had to take a few deeps breaths. So apparently for me, just IMAGINING to do anything, is enough to make me lose my breath!


  • Making dinner. And eating dinner. 
  • Stairs!! Seriously regretting buying our 2 story house!!
