Have to take a break?

Question

Anyone find when they're doing anything (cleaning, cooking, laundry, shopping, gardening) you have to stop often. I find I'm getting really uncomfortable almost like cramps or super tired when I'm standing or doing anything to long and have to take like 20 breaks. Luckily I sit for my job but been trying to clean today sheesh!!

Answer

We just went for a walk on the beach and had to climb 3 or 4 flights of stairs after. I was exhausted and had minor cramps too. They went away, but it made me a little nervous. Reading your post makes me feel better that it isn't just me!

Answer

Yup, shopping is the worst.

Answer

Yesterday my husband and I were walking into the mall from the parking lot. I normally walk at a pretty brisk pace. I had to tell him that we need to walk slower because I become winded much faster, especially when it is hot outside.

Answer

Oh yeah!!! Packing to move right now, and have had to take way too many breaks! I'm so over it! Even walking outside I have to stop to catch my breath. Grrr!

Answer

Yes I have been trying to get my house in order because I'm at high risk for bed rest later in my pregnancy but it is taking forever. It took all day to organize my daughters room because I had to keep stopping and there room was not even that bad lol.

Answer

Lol... This is me. I'm 28 weeks and when I was 27 weeks I started nesting unbelievably. I did not want to stop but my body wouldn't let me keep going so I had to sit in 10 minute intervals.

Answer

Yes! I helped my husband set up baby's new dresser and had to immediately stop and sit down and drink some water. I wasn't even doing anything heavy when I got winded. Just standing and holding a board straight. Glad I'm not the only one!

Answer

Yes but that's how we get oxygen back to the baby! There's just not enough going around in our system.

If you can put your feet up it helps the blood flow back up to your heart. It starts pooling down during the day and can use a lift 🤓

Answer

I've been the same! If I go for walk, it's really difficult to hold a conversation and I get winded very quickly 😩
