I have the same thing going on. Im attributing the shortness of breath to either anxiety or more pressure on the lungs/diaphragm. With baby growing it puts more pressure on our organs, leaving me to believe that the shortness of breath is coming from my growing baby! Ive had a terrible time with my nose as well, I find that the nasal/sinus rinses seem to helpt. How far along are you??

How far along are you? I know anxiety can cause shortness of breath, but in my later pregnancy I got shortness of breath all the time!
