Did this happen to anyone?

I am about 5 weeks preggo and not really tired like I thought I would be. Not going to sleep any earlier or anything. And seem to be fine by all accounts.
Anyway, I go to the gym usually and my usual routine consists of 30 minutes of treadmill on an average morning BEFORE an aerobics class. (Taken me 2 years to build up to this). I go to the gym this morning after taking off a few days and I could not do ten minutes, no joke! I was huffing and puffing within five, feeling like I was running a major marathon. Has this happened to anyone else?

Oh yeah... when I found out I was PG, I was going to the gym religiously. 5 days a week with for of those days using weights, and 5 days cardio. I believe I was in my 5-6th week, I would go to do Cardio and not even 5 minutes I had to stop. I was so out of breath. So, from that point on, I couldn't go to the gym at all throughout my whole Pregnancy. I originally worked out for 3 years, had a great body, lost over 50 lbs, and bam... gained 65 lbs. with my son only lost 30 of that from giving birth and now I have yet to be able to lose it. I feel horrible. I am not used to being heavy again. I wish I was still would of been able to work out during my pregnancy. I just couldn't!
