Omg I'm 29 weeks and I felt the same way yesterday. Woke up this morning feeling better. Just try to relax and not lay down it helped me yesterday. Hope you feel better :)

That is normal. Your lungs are getting compressed as baby grows. It will get better when baby drops and will resolve after delivery.
