Short of breath

Hi, I'm Tamara and I'm 17+3 weeks pregnant. My blood pressure is on the low side, but I'm also experiencing a lot of shortness of breath. Does anyone else here have this issue, and does it go away quickly?

    Hi, if you often have trouble with this, maybe try couples therapy. With my first, I had this too, and eventually, I started hyperventilating. By focusing on my breathing, it got better. This sometimes happens during pregnancy.

    Hey Skullie, thanks for the tip! I do try to pay attention to my breathing, but sometimes it's so frightening that it's hard to do.
