@mariab- Good morning and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. When I was pregnant, especially in my last 2 months I found it hard to breathe too. Other than hormones I'm sure that there was a lot of pressure on all of your organs. How long ago did you deliver?

Hello - with my daughter it may have been pressure because the SOB started towards the end of my pregnancy but with my son, it started in the first trimester and I wasn’t even showing. That was almost two years ago.
This is making me feel so anxious because all I can think about is breathing. When I was pregnant I figured it was temporary but I’m starting to feel worried reading that some have this as a long term issue.
