Lately even climbing few stairs leaves me out of breath and i never had this before. Im 7 months now. is this just a pregnancy thing or should i mention it to my doc? anyone else felt breathless like this?
I get a little breathless climbing stairs now and it scared me at first. Did others feel this too in 2nd trimester? It made me anxious but I read it can be normal.
A little breathlessness with activity is usually fine, but please dont ignore it if it comes on suddenly or with swelling and palpitations. I had to get checked once and it was the right move. When in doubt, call your gynac.
My doctor said mild breathlessness is common because the uterus pushes up against the lungs and hormones change your breathing. It is usually nothing to worry about if it is gradual. But she warned that sudden severe breathlessness, chest pain or rapid heartbeat must be reported at once.
