Feel like i have an elephant sitting on my chest.

[booksandchoc]

I only found out im pregnant 2 days ago and yesterday at work (where im on my feet all day) i had a sore back and the feeling like my chest was being crushed. Feeling kinda out of breath and having to take deep breaths all the time. DH thinks im sighing with anger/frustration lol. is this normal? im only 5 weeks and didnt think any symptoms would kick in for a few weeks or am i being totally naive?

Sounds to me like it could be anxiety? Are you feeling anxious? I think sore lower back is a common early pregnancy symptom.

Go see your GP, they can check you over and see if it looks like simple anxiety. If it's all OK then you'll feel reassured. Good luck!

Well if you get short of breath or you develop pain you need to get it checked out. x

...if it does get much worse tonight I would take a trip to the A and E . Trust your instincts and if you feel you can't breathe you need some help. Have you ever had it before?
