8.5 weeks and out of breath?

Hi!

I’m 8.5 weeks and in my second pregnancy. I am having to breathe much faster than normal even at rest, have frequent palpitations and am completely exhausted (I already take iron supplements) My BMI is 22 and I have no previous health concerns

Naturally my OH is concerned it’s corona, but I seem to remember having heart palpitations and being out of breath earlyish in my last pregnancy too, although it’s hard to remember!

I just wondered if anyone else has these symptoms?

Hi. Im sort of the same. 6 weeks pregnant (not completely exhausted just yet) and have been feeling tight chested and very aware of my breathing since about a week. I thought it was my asthma getting worse (very paranoid about coronavirus) but my doctor tried to assure me it’s Probably just the anxiety with everything going on at the moment?

This is my 3rd pregnancy and I've had it in all 3, from very early on (maybe 5 weeks?). Sometimes it feels like I'm gasping for air and can't fill my lungs.

My doctor said it's normal, especially as all my bloods, weight, and other tests are normal. Maybe run it by your doctor if you are worried.
