Id say the feeling of not being able to breathe is the baby near your ribs.im almost 33wks and feel like i cant breathe. Also i have been getting light headed especially while eating dinner or just after.i feel spaced out for a few mins then im ok again.some people have said it cud be low blood pressure or maybe the baby is lying on a nerve resticting bloodflow and oxygen to your brain for a min. As for the exhaustion, the bigger and heavyier u get and less sleep, well the more exhausted u become. Do take some iron supplements on and off over the next few wks to make sure your iron levels are ok. Try get a nap in during the day and rest up as much as u can. It wont be long now.best of luck!

Am 34 weeks today and i just asked my doctor the same questions today. I get so exhausted, dizzy and i cant breathe. She told me its normal and to drink more water at least 3liters a day. She also told me to prop myself up with pillows at night to help with sleeping at night. I hope this information helps.
