I would say that sounds normal-I feel the same way (except I do not get shortness of breath). Remember they were in your tummy with all kinds of instruments so it's expected to be sore. I would be concerned about the shortness of breath. Do you have that breathing machine that you blow into? Try using that on a regular basis and see if it helps. Hope you feel better soon!
