Shortness of breath?
Anyone else suffering from shortness of breath? There’s no pain but I just can’t seem to catch my breath. Big gasps of breath and it feels like my lungs just aren’t working properly.
I had something similar with my first but it was gone by the second trimester. This time around I’m struggling to do anything because as soon as I move around I have to stop to catch my breath. This means no more walks with my toddler, no trips out, I’m struggling with even doing laundry.
Any tips? I’m having a real rough time of it 😭

My pregnancy update this week said to expect shortness of breath as our lungs are being pushed up x
Totally normal! Your lungs are getting squished, your blood is “thicker” which can make you short of breath. I’m like that too (this is my second too!). You are probably also doing way more than you were first time round because toddlers!
