Lately even climbing the stairs makes me feel out of breath and my period is a bit late also. Could this be a pregnancy thing or am i just overthinking? Anyone felt the same early on?
Yes, it actually happens due to hormonal changes, but just sit comfortably and take slow deep breaths when it happens. Keep a water bottle nearby and don't exert yourself too much, simple remedies are the best.
Oh, carrying twins made me feel like I was climbing Mt. Everest just by walking to the kitchen! It's super common, but if it's very severe, definitely let your gynac know.
It can be a very early sign because of progesterone, but better to get a beta hCG blood test to be sure before booking expensive doctor appointments. Planning finances early is so important, so don't rush into premium hospital visits yet.
My pregnancy tracker app showed that breathlessness is common as the baby grows and takes up space, or due to early hormones. Track your symptoms on an app, but if it gets severe, please get your hemoglobin levels checked.
Many women experience this in the first and third trimesters, it's quite common. Just make sure you are not over-exhausting yourself and take regular breaks. If you feel dizzy along with it, do consult your doctor.
