[quote=Anonymous]I think this is because of increased levels of hormones, maybe progesterone, causing you to breathe more frequently and heavier to increase blood oxygen levels. Everything is gearing up to grow your baby. There are actually anecdotes of high level athletes winning marathons and other events in early pregnancy as their bodies increased blood flow and oxygenation. Kerry Walsh Jennings won a gold medal in volleyball when she was early in the first trimester with her third baby. Of course she won gold medals when she wasn't pregnant too. Good luck and congrats![/quote]
