I had the same problem! I am a runner and in good shape, routinely running 8-10 miles at a time through the first several weeks of pregnancy, but during my first trimester I was out of breath just walking! My OB said it was just hormones and increased blood volume from pregnancy. But don't worry, it should improve! I'm now 20 weeks and the breathing is much better, so I'm taking advantage of being able to run and swim again while I can, before my lungs get compressed by the baby!
Out of breath
I am still only in my first trimester but I get out of breath doing anything! I would consider myself to be somewhat in shape. Is this normal?
