Pregnancy may: cause your blood to clot, which can form in the legs and travel upwards into the lungs, causing a pulmonary embolus. These clots can cause the symptoms you described, including chest pressure, shortness of breath, weakness, and cyanosis (blue discoloration of the skin especially around orifices). Anemia may also cause similar symptoms. Go get checked out by a healthcare provider or hospital.
