Shortness of Breath in Pregnancy: Is It Normal?

Question
I am only 24 weeks pregnant and am really short of breath. Is this normal? Should i be worried about my baby?!

Answer
Hi Heather :)

What you are feeling is completely normal, so dont worry :)

As the baby grows, and your uterus expands, the rest of your organs are being pushed up, and pressing on your lungs.

Just your bodies way of making room for that little munchkin.
