Depends on how far along you are in pregnancy. Baby's weight and size puts additional strain on your stamina. However, don't dismiss entirely as it could potentially be a sign of other issues.

Yes it is, especially when lying down or moving about too fast/much. But if you have other symptoms like fever or sore throat or cough, see a doctor immediately.

I felt breathless even in i think 2nd trimester.. had to sit down and rest before continuing. Once i just took half day off work as I was feeling terrible.

Yes :) Bec if u’re in the last trimester most of your organs are compressed. Do highlight to your Gynae still so they can take note!
