Anyone else have this or had earlier in the pregnancy? I think I am a little behind most of you guys as I am due almost in March.. What the heck! It is my only symptom I have had (other than being dead tired a few weeks and always hungry!) it drives me nuts to the point I am so short of breath I cant even hold my end of the conversation sometimes (and this is not good for me at work)..Did it go away or has is subsided at all? Tums help a little, almost like its indigestion and letting out a burp helps me be able to breath again but I don't want to over do it with them..Any suggestions? Aghh..
haha i just posted a similar thread...all i do is yawn and breathe hard, because it feels like by belly is too full that i just cant breathe right...also you are so right..when im talking to someone then i sometimes have to take a long breath before finishing...like i have been running long or something...
Ha, i just saw that, guess were on the same wavelength! If i knew how to delete this i would just write on yours..it is insane! Its like i can hardly walk up stairs without being winded! Which is just awful because I walk all day at work.. i have the same thing where i feel like i will pass out..I sure do hope it goes away..I don't get why this happens especially because I exercise regularly, I bike 5 miles a day and now modified weight training ..I see you are not so far ahead of me, so heres to hoping for us!
i bet it passes soon tho..i have the feeling its like the time, where we jump from one side to another and it takes some extra effort, but we will get used to it and i hope it will get better
im in this boat too, I hate it. Especially after I eat a meal, then seriously do not talk to me for an hr because.........i......................cant....... .....................answer.....................ug h
Every time I walk on stairs I can't talk to anyone for a couple minutes. I've been getting winded and that was not the norm for me. I'm with you, I'm 16 weeks and it hasn't gotten better for me yet.

what??? so it isnt just a stage that will pass and get better?
I get this all the time and pregnancy exacerbates it.
If it feels like burping helps, try Gas-X - it's basically inert so really safe to take.
For the poster who feels worse after a meal, that could be due to low blood pressure if you're prone to that; digestion diverts blood flow temporarily, and blood pressure tends to drop a bit in pregnancy due to the extra blood volume.
Well sure it does, just after the baby is born, lol.
HAHAHA! So true! After about 30 weeks or so, my lungs and ribs would hurt so bad after eating from being squished. I swear he was living behind my ribs, he grew up more than out.
