Question about contractions

Did anyone else get the sensation of being short of breath when a contraction started? I have been having Braxton Hicks for weeks now and every time a contraction comes on I feel short of breath. It is really weird.

Wish these contractions would get organized already and get things moving along...

Cant remember being short of breath. Maybe its your nerves... even BH's can get the nerves going.

I have been short of breath during some episodes of the BH. It depends on how strong they get. I definitely am short of breath when I get the sharp stabbing pains...
