I am 12 wks 5 days pregnant but for the past 2 days i've been feeling like i need air kind of making it hard for me to breath right why is this?

Worrisome: Shortness of breath during pregnancy (assuming you do not have asthma) may be a sign of some serious conditions such as pulmonary embolism. You should see your doctor immediately.
