is it nomral to breath heavy when pregnant?

Oh sure.  As the child grows, he is taking up space previously occupied by other organs - so it can be harder to breath and that is why we have to pee so much.  There is just not enough room in there for our organs to do the job they used to with a growing fetus.

you can lift heavy objects if you are pregnant as long as you lifted them before you got pr.  I know people who have bowled until they gave birth.  I carried heavy manicans up latters until I was 9 months pg. but it can cause strain on the baby if you lift it above your head, or if you don't do it regularly, also every baby and every body is different.  sometimes it's better not to take the chance.  some people are very active before they get pg and have to be on bed rest while they are pg.

What you need to know:\nUnless your health care provider advises you otherwise, sex during pregnancy is safe for you and the baby. The baby is protected by the amniotic fluid in the womb and by your abdomen.\n\nSome women with high-risk pregnancies are advised to avoid intercourse during pregnancy. Your health care provider will tell you if you have a high-risk pregnancy.\n\nWhat you can do:\nIf you are concerned, ask your health care provider if it’s okay to have sex.\n\nTalk to your partner about each of your needs and concerns in an open and loving way. If you work together, you can probably figure out how to put a smile on each other’s face.\n\nPositions that work before pregnancy and early in pregnancy can be uncomfortable or even unsafe at later stages of the baby’s development. For example, a woman should avoid lying flat on her back after the fourth month of pregnancy, because the weight of the growing uterus puts pressure on major blood vessels. Fortunately, there are alternatives to the traditional missionary position, such as lying sideways or having the woman on top.\n\nWhen It's Not Safe\n\nIf you engage in oral sex, your partner should not blow air into your vagina. Blowing air can cause an air embolism (a blockage of a blood vessel by an air bubble), which can be potentially fatal for mother and child.

The move you made was it to a different altitude? Changes in altitude can cause changes in menstrual flow(seriously). Stress can do it too. I would go get a blood test for pregnancy asap because it could be a multitude of things from the very serious to nothing at all, but blood work would atleast rule out the ones you should be most worried about. In the mean time try to relax. The three to five pounds could also be from stress as well think about the way you eat during finals time(lol, i gained 8 in two weeks). Good luck to you I hope you get the results you are hoping for.

If it happens once, just a tinge, then that would be ok.  If it happens often, go to your doctor.  \nYou did not state what stage of the pregnancy though.

pregnancy for one, check with your OB/GYN or regular physcian

I would not try anything different without consulting your doctor first. There are many effects that may arise when your body is already changing due to pregnancy so you need to be so careful and cautious.

While you might still have your period when you are pregnant, my thoughts are that maybe your period would shorten up a lot more than that if not stop completely.  Unless, if your period was really, really light then you might really be pregnant.\n\nIf your breasts are tender that could be a huge sign.  Because they will start preparing to grow and the glands will begin making breast milk for when the baby arrives.\n\nTune in to your motherly instincts.  Put your hand on your tummy and just sit and listen, if you feel like there is anything at all there that wasn't there before, then you are probably pregnant.  I knew I was pregnant when I could feel something doing flip flops in my tummy, (well that's how it felt anyway) and I was only a month along.

If its heavy and clotty then it could be an early miscarriage...seek medical advice ASAP!.  If its dark and scanty in quantity then it could be pregnancy as the others suggested...;

You do not have to be pregnant for this to happen. Sense of smell is heightened right before & during menstruation, too.\n\nOur bodies are constantly changing (just like when people develop new allergies---which is another possibility too) so this may be why it is something you never experienced before.

i actually had a pilates instructor who was pregnant, and i asked her about the reformer.  she said that she modified the excersizes to do many of them on her side (as laying on your back can reduce blood supply to the baby after a certain period of development) and that she didn't work out as hard.  but she said that she still excersized three times a week or so.  i would think that keeping strong and healthy would be beneficial to your pregnancy!  however, i would check with a doctor, because you don't want to make a mistake... it is, after all, your child.

This is not unusual especially if you are nursing.  The other possibility is another pregnancy though.  Talk to your OB about it.

Oh please. It doesn't necessarily mean you're pregnant. You could be just having panic attacks. Are there any stressful events going on in your life, lately? It could also be low blood pressure, or low blood sugar... And make sure you take a multivitamin. This happened to me when I was on the South Beach Diet, and wasn't eating normally...

With any exercise, if you were doing it before you were pregnant, you can continue while you are pregnant, as long as it isn't high impact.  Continuing Yoga would be great for your pregnancy and with giving birth.

jbrager, have you ever been pregnant?  There are many different experiences in being pregnant, some wonderful and some miserable and most falling inbetween.  With my son, I could barely eat anything for three months.  I felt like I was starving to death.  I was miserable.  With my daughter I was always on bed rest and afraid that I was going to die.  Pregnancy is not something to be taken lightly.
