Hard to breath

I am only 9 weeks along and i cannot breath like i was a couple weeks ago.  I get winded talking,  walking,  anything.  I went to the ER and they said i am perfectly fine.  Only reason could be the twins taking up room.  Im barely pregnant.  That can't be a real thing.  These babies are way too tiny to make an impact on my breathing.  Anyone else have this early on in their pregnancy?

Short of breath is normal coz your body works harder to pump a bigger amount of blood through your body. If it begins to burn or hurt I would suggest to see the doctor. Coz they say that u can a blood cloth in your lungs when ur pregnant.

I'm also short of breath after and during Some activities

I had really bad shortness of breath about a week after I started taking my Progesterone supplement. Not sure if you're on Progesterone or not - but I understand an increase in Progesterone can increase this.
