Welcome to the club lol im also only 5'1. I'm currently 27 wks and 1 day pregnant today and i've been having trouble breathing for the past wk or two. Get used to it..It won't get any better lol. I'm sure tall ppl have the same problems, just not as soon as us shorties .

I'm 5'5 and I have trouble breathing so I don't know how much it has to do with hight (though I guess i'm still pretty short.) but even with the extra 4 inches I feel pressure pushing up towards my chest in into my ribs, and no easy breathing.

I am only 5' but not yet preg , only ttc . Will it be a problem for me

Im 5"7 1/2 and I have trouble breathing....It has nothing to do with height!

I am five one and had a tough time breathing but I don't believe that it has anything to do with your weight

Im 5 even and I hate to be the only one.. But I do not have any breathing problems at 38 weeks...

Thanks for your replies


your lucky stella that you have no problems! Especially being 5'

We seem to have a lot of short ladies on this forum!

Lol, im 5'2 and my breathing always sucked (asthma) but being pregnant hasnt made a huge differnce.. Only when I lay down its harder to breath
