Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Evaluation needed: Most pregnant women experience a mild degree of shortness of breath called dyspnea of pregnancy. If you are also experiencing shoulder pain associated with shortness of breath then evaluation by a doctor is warranted to make sure nothing abnormal is causing the issue
