Hi everyone. I’m just shy of 17 weeks. I’ve been having a lot of exhaustion as of late. Even while doing simple tasks like laundry or walking up the stairs. I feel so out of breath. I’m 5’6, 170 pounds in fairly decent shape. I feel so uncomfortable majority of the time in the sense that I feel out of breath by doing simple things. It’s making me a little paranoid as I do suffer from health anxiety and tend to fixate on physical sensations, especially when it has to do with my heart. My blood pressure is normal, it’s actually within range and often comes out as optimal. I know I have low iron and am on supplements and have been for awhile but they don’t seem to be working.

Is this feeling of being so out of breath normal? Does it get worse? I feel so defeated :( it takes away from all of the joy and excitement I want to feel in this pregnancy. I feel paranoid that my heart will just stop on me one way. I recently had tests for PVCs and they noted that I do have PVCs although nothing concerning and a very small percentage of the time.

I know I’m not alone and read on Reddit that a lot of women feel the same way during pregnancy however I’m hoping for some words of reassurance. I hate feeling concerned and hate feeling like I have no control over these sensation/feelings of physical discomfort. Even while laying down on my right side, I feel a little discomfort and have to immediately turn to my left. But then my hips start to hurt after laying on one side for too long.

This is my first pregnancy.

Hello. I’m 8 weeks pregnant. Heartbeat was detected last week. My nausea and vomiting was quite bad and I was avoiding anti nausea medication until 2 days ago when I could no longer bare it. I took two diclectin at night and in the morning I noticed I had no vomit and no vomiting during the day. The nausea was still lingering but I immediately noticed that I’m not getting the urge to throw up. Today is day 2 of feeling the same (I took two again last night). I’m not taking the dose during the day. Only at night.

I know I might be in my head but is it concerning that this medication worked right away or could it be that I am miscarrying all of a sudden :( it just seems wild that I went from so much throwing up to absolutely none within 24 hours. I want to be positive and trust that the medication is working but after doing research and reading that its effectiveness is quite low, I’m feeling a bit concerned.

Any thoughts? Please don’t judge me, this is my first 🙏 and I am praying for a healthy pregnancy
